Why does everyone make fun of New Jersey?

I was born in New Jersey and the only thing I have heard people say about N.J. is just how bad it is in the cities and that the people are mean. But I like New Jersey so it don't matter.

I think that a better question would be "Why would anyone like the Yankees?"\n\nThey spend more money by far than anyone else in all of baseball so they can win every year and they haven't won in the last 5 years. On top of that, they act like they're supposed to win as if it's their God given right, and their fans act the same way. They criticize other organizations for not having as much money as they do. All of their superstars become losers when they get to New York (A-Rod, Giambi, Randy Johnson, Sheffield etc). Management won't let them be themselves with their hair etc. They have no personalities when they get to NY.\n\nThere's just nothing to like and so much to hate. That's why the Red Sox have a nation and why the Yankees will always be hated by people everywhere.

It's all in good fun. With all the politically correctness that American society says we should have, there is almost no one that we can joke around about that won't get overly offended. It's not that Americans don't like Canadians, it's that it's safe to joke with Canadians, because so many of them are such good sports about it. Canada is like a close cousin that you pick on at family gatherings.\n\nAlso, many people say mean things about Canada to be ironic. Someone might say that they hate Canada, which is funny and ironic, because there is pretty much nothing to hate about Canada. \n\nSo, because it's ironic and because it's safe, Americans have made jokes about Canada a soft of trendy running gag. There is no true dislike of Canada here, at least, none from me or anyone I've met.

Because he was making fun of the audience, and journalists are too self-important to tolerate being made fun of.\n\nThe people watching at home laughed, at least.

Because Political Correctness has no sense of humor. Before PC, Polock jokes, anti-Catholic jokes, dumb people jokes and many more were regularly told regardless of who was listening. In those days, you laughed even if it was at your own expense, or you were a poor sport. Today, everyone is so oversensitive about everything that jokes are almost extinct. Today, the only 'correct' way of making people laugh is through vulgarity. Kinda sick, huh?

I hope they are forced to suffer the same as we are. There are way to many fans of that team up north in Ohio. I guess that was the easiest way to piss their parents off.\nBut hey, if not for them we would have to go pick our pizzas up, instead of having them delivered.

It's really cruel to make fun of people who can't help themselves.  It's also immature.  Have some compassion for this man's family.\nMy father has AD and trust me, there's nothing funny about watching someone be erased.

ok, this is simple, New Jersey happens to be the Arm pit of america, which is where the most indians live (and cricket is a big indian sport),  so you go to Jersey City, where a lot of indians live, walk up to any middle aged indian, and ask him where do the indians play their cricket, and he will tell you, then you go to anywhere it is, and play ball.

Who say's we can't poke fun at tradegies?\nSome people have a morbid sense of humor. If you people can't take jokes like this with a grain of salt, go find some other kind of joke.\nAnd by the way, zombie hoards attacking major US cities are just as funny.\n\nOKraph-Dissizbad and Myturbin-Izburnin were the best.

As far as I can tell, everybody is insulted.  It's kinda like being a guest on Don Imus' morning radio show -- if you can endure the heckling, you'll be invited back.

Basically everyone is either true to their personal country or against it. Not everyone in the US believes we are better at soccer,but the ones who do think that are loud in their belief.
