The first 10 to post the results will get a 100 extra credit grade.

Consumerism

Consumerism...The Musical

 Fight Consumerism

Consumerism

Consumerism @ Yahoo! Video

What is a similar message in all these videos?  How do they get their point across?  Which video makes you feel "guilty" about consumerism?  Which one(s) points out excess without making you think that the world is coming to an end because of frivolous spending?  Do any offer a solution to excess consumerism?

And the week #11 Winner is...

For the second week in a row... TRAVIS FRENCH!!  Great job, Travis!  When asked how he felt about the back-to-back wins Thursday evening, Travis said, "Wow!  This is the best thing that's ever happened to me...In my life!!!  Mr. Williams, thank you for this incredible opportunity you've given me.  I still don't think you're the wisest teacher in our school, but you're ok.  In fact, you're my all-time favorite economics teacher (even though you  really stink at the Stock Market Game)."  When asked of his plans for his pretzel or ice cream, Travis said he was going to pick the ice cream again, but  promised he would keep it with last week's reward in his locker until after wrestling season. 

And in the Golf portion of the stock market game, after 5 weeks atop the leader board, we have a new negative leader.  Unseating Brandon took some time, but Sean Farrell came through when it counted most, crushing Brando to "win" by over -$10,000.  When contacted after the closing bell of the exchange a very emotional Sean stated that his new goal was not just to be the negative leader next week, but to actually finish with less than $7,500 total.  "Claiming the lead was an accomplishment, especially over a competitor like Brandon," Sean said, "but now that I'm here, I've got to set new goals and watch out for others trying to take my title."

And the winner is....

     No longer the Bridesmaid, Travis French has finally broken through to the top on the day when it mattered most!  Accumulating a total of $130,499.30 to post the largest margin of victory to date in the game ($9669.15).  Now that he has the big target on his back, will he continue to surge ahead?  Will Activision give him the boost that he needs?  Will Nick, Jolynn, or Emily come back next week?  Will any of the bottom feeders make a big jump up to the top?

      On a different note, in the stock market golf game, Sean Farrel had what seemed to be an insurmountable lead going into Thursday's crucial competition, but Brando--the undisputed warrior of the depths--showed he still has what it takes to keep his title!  Up by several thousand dollars, Brandon saw his net value plummet until he finally settled $5200 below his nearest competitor.  Wow, now that's performance under pressure!
