Unique online social experiment ideas?
For a social science class in school we have to do a primary research experiment. Some past examples have included somebody testing bystander response in my high school by pretending to drop their books and seeing how many people actually stopped to help, offering free jelly beans in the main lobby to see which colour gets picked the most, or doing something along the lines of racism by showing mugshots of people and asking various questions to the students.
Any cool ideas on a social experiment I could do? I like topics like perception of beauty, pop culture, prejudice, media, and I like the idea of doing some kind of ChatRoulette experiment or a Youtube experiment.
Any suggestions? 10 points for best answer. I can't think of anything original enough Smile

Get a bunch of clips of black Republicans (e.g. Herman Cain, Walter E. Williams, Thomas Sowell, Allen West) and white Democrats (e.g. Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd, Harry Reid)and then have black Democrats, after watching it, post a video explaining which of Presidnet Obama's policies they like best. It could be entertaining to see if any of them use any comments shared by the black Republicans as opposed to the white Democrats (especially, the racist former KKK leader Robert Byrd).

Call it a social experiment on politics and prejudice - do the blacks support Democratic ideas or do they support black people? You could of course inverse this, but there have been many documented studies showing that the race of people who vote most along skin color are blacks.
