A few weeks ago, late-night talk show host, Conan O'Brien, began a campaign of mocking Newark, New Jersey. It all began when O'Brien quipped that Newark's health care plan was a bus ticket out of the city. The mayor responded by banning the Irish comedian from Newark Liberty International Airport. In a skit which aired on Conan O'Brien's show Wednesday, while discussing the city's "art scene," the accompanying picture was of a wall covered in graffiti - and that's just one of the digs taken at the locale in the two minutes the skit lasted!
Newark mayor Cory Booker responded in a YouTube video, in which he banned O'Brien from the state! (That's the Newark Way.) The feud continues to escalate.
New Jersey is best known as the mob's unmarked cemetery.
