The official X account of the state of New Jersey just dragged Pennsylvania hard in a single tweet about the "saddest place on Earth"—and Pennsylvanians are up in arms.

Make us preferred on Google

New Jersey got feisty and skewered neighboring Pennsylvania with a dig in response to a tweet asking where the "saddest place on earth" might be.

The tagline is a riff on Disneyland's designation as "The Happiest Place on Earth," which Creepy.org's X account invoked to get responses for the following inquiry:


"If Disneyland is the 'happiest' place on Earth, where do you think is the 'saddest' place on earth?"

While social media users humored the account that explores the "creepy side of the world" with irreverently hilarious comments, the official X account for the state of New Jersey joined in and provided its "saddest place" pick with a graphic that spoke for itself.

It was a map of the state of Pennsylvania.

Yeah, NJ went there.

Needless to say, Pennsylvanians were seething and sent retaliatory strikes against the Garden State.

Meanwhile, social media users grabbed some popcorn.



Some begged to differ.


Others savaged NJ with plenty of shade.





One Pennsylvanian thought it was a game well played.

This wasn't the first time NJ fired first shots at its neighbors.

When Connecticut revealed new road signs recently, including one that indicated the state was the "Pizza Capital of the United States," the official NJ X account said, "I don't think so."

The account tagged U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and asked:

"Is it legal to lie on road signs @SecretaryPete ?? asking for a friend."

With NJ's recent jab at the Keystone State, it all comes down to this: Are you Team NJ or Team PA?

Randy Rainbow Hilariously Drags Mitch McConnell's Unlikely Senate Return With 'Mitchcraft' Parody Video

Singer and satirist Randy Rainbow has been parodying politics since the first presidency of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. But Trump isn't the focus of Rainbow's latest comedy music video.

Instead, the performer—whose name really is Randy Rainbow—set his sights on the mysterious 92-day disappearance of Kentucky MAGA Republican Senator and former Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. In June, the 84-year-old lawmaker reportedly fell at his home and was taken to the hospital.

We Just Got Our First Look At AMC's New 'Dune: Part 3' Popcorn Bucket—And They Really Went There

Remember when a Dune popcorn bucket sent the internet into a collective meltdown? Well, AMC Theatres apparently looked at all that chaos and thought, “Cute. Let's double it.” The popcorn bucket madness continues with Dune: Part Three, and this time, the sandworms are coming in pairs.

AMC is pitching its new Double Sandworm Collectible as a way to make sharing popcorn easier. A thoughtful gesture, really, although the two gaping, tooth-lined mouths suggest the design team may have had a little too much fun with the assignment.
