The stumping for the existence of Central Jersey continued on Thursday, and in a rather unexpected way: a meme.

The meme, known as "Sign Bunny," features an ASCII bunny holding a sign reading "Central Jersey is real." It was posted from the @NJGov account, whose bio describes it as "The new official Twitter account of the State of New Jersey!"

The tweet garnered a lot of support from verified accounts and regular citizens alike.

Shortly after, his campaign reached a national scale in a segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Colbert currently resides in Montclair, North Jersey territory). Murphy— along with "Chief Supreme Justice of New Jersey" Jon Stewart, himself a native of Lawrenceville that now lives in Middletown, both of Central Jersey—declared Central Jersey a real place.

Will this new post end the debate? Probably not. But for those who identify as from Central Jersey, it was another mark in their favor, even if it was in the form of an official government account posting a meme.
