Altering names of locations to influence change in demographics
21 replies, posted
Hello my name is Trogdon and today I present to you an interesting study done by me and not my colleagues on the altering of the names of cities and places in order to influence the type of people who live there.
[B]THE STUDY[/B]
What particularly does this study entail?
Assume for a moment that you are a person of great influence.

this is exactly what you would not want to look like. Here we have a more impressionable persona

Now you have a suave appearance, and are a smooth talking "badass". This will allow you to perform the experiment.
Since you are a man of great influence, you can persuade mayors of towns in order to change the name of their town. Either by smooth talking, or a hefty bank account, simply assume you are able to alter the names of cities at your will.
[B]THE NAMES OF LOCATIONS PLAY KEY TO THE DEMOGRAPHICS THAT RESIDE THERE[/B]
this study is aimed to prove that
Here is a picture or Arizona, with cities of varying socioeconomic statuses.

Observe point A, which is called Scottsdale (source 2). Scottsdale is a well-off community, featuring a shopping plaza that sells expensive things like name brand clothing (not your Calvin Kliens, more like your Pradas), Pizza slices for $4 each, and Millennium Pens that sell for as much as $18,000 (which I am unable to afford at this point in time and was asked to leave their store). This area is upper-middle class, and full of smug human beings (and smug pets that can also buy clothes at the mini mall).
Here is a graph of the current socioeconomic status of the people. (source 1)

Now with our power of influence we can change the name of the city, which I have aptly dubbed [B]Scottsdouche[/B]. Now people that live in Scottsdale will live in Scottsdouche, and receive the title of Scottsdouchians.
I have plotted a graph to show how this will influence the socioeconomic status of the area.

Now the demographics have been changed and people who live there now are in the lower middle class!
By this research we can presume that we can craft society to live where we want them to with this power.
New York City will be renamed New Poor City
Los Angeles will be renamed Lost Assholes
San Fransisco will be renameed San Fagsisco (though this is a margin of error, as more gays seemed to move here in our lab studies [source 3])
Why would we do all this you say?
I have always wanted beachfront property. As a man of influence I shall influence the rich into the middle of America, making beachfront property less valuable. San Diego will be renamed "San BUTTFUCKERS" and the properties closest to the beach will have the word "buttfuck" (and "vaginafuck" for san fagsisco) implemented in their addresses, ensuring that the rich will move out.
They won't want to associate with such areas, but us people who do not care for reputation particularly will move to beachfront property and have a big bonfire with R/C cola.
Here is an unwatermarked picture of me jumping at the beach

Ah. Right. So it's one of those theories with absolutely no backing evidence.

It has very much evidence I have cited my sources
I attend the Toronto Reserve Of Leveraged Learning, and am a major in demographics. I am studying with professor Aryou Gelis

Wow I've did some backing studying there! Mike Litoris used to help me out a lot, he was quite the teacher
he quit due to competitive research done in my field to show that his study was incorrect and infeasible (he believed that my experiment would not work, thus he quit because it did)
I see.
You had me until it dissolved into "lol lets name cities with rude words!!!11"

Hah that's hilarious. Never knew he'd be such a big twat about it, how could he believe your experiment wouldn't work? I've had some real good discussions with him, wouldn't have seen him as a person that had irrational disbelief in your work.
I'm glad your work made it to publishment!
thank you me too, I worked very hard on my research and I'm glad it's finally paying off :)

Your avatar....:h:
Rename Facepunch to Facefuck, kids will never be allowed back on because their parents will think its some forced sex site.
That the kind of think you're talking about, only geographically?
I will give you a $5 grant.
