There's a new -licious* in town—"Jerseylicious," the "comedy docu-soap" that debuts tonight on the Style Network. New York Times television critic Neil Genzlinger calls the show "witless," and he doesn't spare the title:
Every state has its lowbrow elements; the Style folks should have made an effort to mask their lack of originality by trying a different state. “Texcessive,” perhaps. “Arizonerous.” “Illinoispollution.” “Alabimbos.” “Colora-doh!”
Why stop there? How about "Alaskanks," "Oregoniffs," "Floriduh," or "Pennsyl-you're-so-vania"?
And, naturally, "Idaho."
Let the record show that "Californication" has already been claimed.

More -liciousness here.
I don't know about the Jerseylicousness, but you seem like a nice person. And you read Brand New, too. Or you did read it; I won't make assumptions about you being a regular reader. So I guess, regardless of your reading habits, I can still say, "And you read Brand New, too".
