BULLSHIT!  Having grown up in New Jersey I cut that down immediately.
More over, the ONLY people I've ever heard pronounce the state name as
"joizey" were out of staters.  The only thing worse than an insult is
one which isn't even accurate.  It does, however, point out the ignorance
of the insulter.
