I just saw that there is a move afoot to Sell The New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway to a private company, which in this case is Prudential. My first thought was that could be one of those hoaxes like when they announced the Taco Bell Liberty Bell or Google Gulp, but apparently it's the real deal. You have to wonder if that means that they will go for "naming rights" like football stadiums? If that's the case, then perhaps Nascar or a funeral home should be in the bidding, since both roads seem increasingly dangerous. Then again, "The Prudential LIFE INSURANCE Parkway" just might help keep the speeds down to less dangerous levels.
