A few months ago, we posted a handy equation to help you figure out how white trash your city is.  We didn't want to overlook all the ghetto cities out there, though,  so we came up with The Ghetto Formula, to help you determine how ghetto your city is:

 

The Procedure

It's important that ghetto stats for all test cities be collected from the same sources, in order to maintain some level of consistency:

 

# of Cash Advance Stores

This should be obtained from a Google Maps search of "Cash Advance", along with your zip code.  Then scroll to the bottom of the results column and use the total number of search results, which will be a grey number that says "(#) Results".

 

# of Long John Silver's Restaurants

Utilize the same technique used above.  Search Google Maps for "Long John Silvers" and your zip code, and use the Total Search results number, located at the bottom of the results column. 

 

# of Government Housing Projects

Do a Google Maps search of "Government Housing" with your zip code, then use the Total Search results number, located at the bottom of the results column.

 

# of Pawn Shops

To find the number of Pawn Shops in your town, use the pawn shop locator, which can be found here.  Type in your zip code, and use the total results number.

 

# of Car Thefts per Year

This number can be obtained from crime statistics, which can be found  here. Find your city on the list, double click, then locate the car thefts statistics that the site provides.

 

Population

Population is probably the most important ghetto stat in the entire formula, because a city's true ghetto-ness must be determined on a per capita basis.  Pull population statistics from Wikipedia by searching the city name, and then using the "Population of Metro Area" number, located in the right-hand column of the page.

 

Preliminary Tests:

I took the subway to work for over 3 years and I think it’s safe to say I will not miss any of it. The only possible thing I might miss is seeing a hot chick here and there, and maybe a talented performer.

While I appreciate the subway as a great mode of transportation, I could not stand it. It’s just an awful experience. And for those of you who don’t ride the subway, this video is a good reminder of why you probably shouldn’t.

Jerry Jones (and Texas taxpayers) spent $1.2 billion constructing an opulent state-of-the-art multi-use arena that's perfect for concerts, soccer matches, trade shows, Promise Keepers rallies, and even football games—provided that you don't allow either team to punt.

Forty million of those dollars went to the installation of a massive 160-foot long, 90-foot high HD video board that dominates the airspace above the field. And in a surprise twist that no one could have seen coming, it took only one game to learn that an average NFL punter can easily smack the thing on a routine kick. Titans backup A.J. Trapasso hit it in the third quarter of their preseason game last night. Starter Craig Hentrich said he hit it half a dozen times in warmups and estimated that half the league's kickers wouldn't be able to punt normally in that building.

Jones isn't buying that, however. He says the board has "entertainment value" and has no plans to move it higher. (There probably isn't room, anyway.) Plus, Jones is convinced that the only danger is a devious punter with no regard for the laws of football who would intentionally try to hit the thing.

"If you look at how you punt the football, unless you're trying to hit the scoreboard, you punt the ball to get downfield. You certainly want to get some hangtime, but you punt the ball to get downfield, and you sure don't punt the ball down the middle. You punt it off to the side."

"How high is high if somebody just wants to sit there and kick straight up?"

Yeah, why would a punter ever want to kick a ball ... up? That's not the Cowboy way, I tell ya.

The Phillies cantankerous pitcher Brett Myers is attempting to bounce back this season to inject life into the team's depleted bullpen, but first he has to let his eye socket heal after it landed on a fist.

Myers was scheduled to do a rehab stint in Clearwater, but sat out because his eye was still swollen, an injury he first said was the result of playing catch with his son. Lie! No, the truth was he got the shiner from stumbling out of his wife's Escalade (lie!) after having a couple beers (lie!).

But the real truth, according to the Bucks County Courier Times, is that Myers cruised down to Jacksonville to see his family then went out that night to Shannon's Irish Pub to watch guitar-slingin' crooner Chuck Nash mumble through vanilla alt-rock because that's what people do in Jacksonville on Friday nights.

So Myers and his wife are there (still together post-punching) and Myers is, most likely, maxin chillaxin at the Pub while Nash plays a killer version of "Gravity" and then a fight broke out and he was accidentally bopped in the eye. Completely not his fault because Brett Myers is a peaceful guy who walks away from situations like this because he's a professional and would hate to jeopardize his career with such foolishness. (Lie!)
