The Week Contest
This week’s question: A Louisiana woman who used
Gorilla Glue to keep her hair in place—and soon found
she couldn’t remove the stuff—blamed the company,
complaining that the glue’s labeling only warns against
getting the product “in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.” If
a movie studio were to make a drama about her ordeal,
what should the film be titled?
Last week’s contest: A ragtag band of investors tempo-
rarily caused the stock price of struggling video-game
retailer GameStop to skyrocket— netting a few lucky indi-
viduals millions of dollars and costing some hedge funds
billions in losses. What could Hollywood call a movie
about this short-lived stock-market rebellion?
THE WINNER: “Get Shorters”
Tim Mistele, Coral Gables, Fla.
SECOND PLACE: “Mutiny on the S&P”
Jesse Rifkin, Glastonbury, Conn.
THIRD PLACE: “The Hedge Clippers”
Bill Levine, Belmont, Mass.
