Casual Mondays at NJ.com: Leave your integrity at home.

by: Juan Melli

Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 01:15:51 PM EDT



Late update: I updated the title. NJ.com and the Star Ledger are different entities. NJ.com deserves all the scorn in this case for the silly images and text. But the Star Ledger still pursued the story and created the content they used on NJ.com, so they're not off the hook.

You could try, but you couldn't make this stuff up. If I wanted to parody the NJ media's coverage of Jim McGreevey, I might have created something like this:

Update: I wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't make this stuff up. I really couldn't. At least two three people contacted me thinking I made this parody of nj.com. I did not. This is actually on their front page right now. For the record, here's a screenshot of the top of nj.com.

Update 2: They keep making the joke funnier and funnier, but what is wrong with these people?

Well, Juan, sex sells, and Fridays is probably an advertiser ... though I have to admit the whole thing's got me off my feed.

"I'll have an order of Buffalo Wings and a side of that hot piece of ass!"

Wow. When I first saw that picture above, I seriously thought you actually were parodying the situation. Then I went to nj.com to see what was actually on the front page, and...wow.

An actual subheadline:

Menu: Friday's three-for-all platter big enough to share

with a link to the TGI Fridays menu!

Seriously, though, you should all be freaking embarassed by your state right now. Most of the NYTimes.com front page involves the rapidly developing financial meltdown. The only meltdown being covered in New Jersey right now involves burger-topping cheese.


i don't care what anyone thinks... (4.00 / 1)
...but i would sell you all out for a crack at that man-boy.

Dennis I already told you, I am a lover not a fighter. But he's mine.

There is SUCH an obvious (4.00 / 1)
solution to this, given the situation, but this is a family blog ...

Jay, you can do much better than Teddy n/t (0.00 / 0)

You can have him. I'll take the sandwich. (0.00 / 0)
Seriously, Jay, do you really want someone who's obviously gonna go blab to the media about it?

And, in response to a comment of yours from last week, THIS is why certain people pay $4300 per hour--to keep their freaking mouths shut.

Even the mayor (4.00 / 1)
didn't  have the power  to  cut  to the head of  the line at Woodbridge TGIF on  Friday evenings. More likely they all met at the REO Diner  & exchanged winks   over  salad   bar iceberg lettuce &  Thousand Island dressing.
