Movers & Shakers: al Qaeda, Hairspray, and Bratz
July 17, 2007

Recently, there have been reports that the terrorist group al Qaeda has heightened their efforts at putting operatives in the U.S., and that the U.S. is under its greatest risk of attack since September 11, 2001. No specific aspects of this terrorist threat have been illuminated for the public, but clearly it has caused an increase in search activity for al Qaeda.

The movie Hairspray, which is based on the 2002 Broadway musical based in the 1988 film (and who says Hollywood doesn't come up with any original ideas anymore?) opens on July 20 and gained 233%. Personally, I have to leave the room in embarassment whenever I see trailers for this movie on TV. John Travolta does not make an attractive woman.

On August 3, the live action movie based on the Bratz dolls will be released, which accounts for the increased search interest in these misshapen dolls. With their oversized heads, enormous eyes, and tiny bodies, they look not unlike Nicole Richie. Doesn't it make some sort of cosmic sense in some unexplainable way that this movie is produced by Paula Abdul?

The most popular search movers and shakers for the week ending July 14, 2007:

1. Al Qaeda Up 700%
2. Al Gore Up 300%
3. Rihanna Up 234%
4. Hairspray Up 233%
5. Emma Watson Up 217%
6. Victoria Beckham Up 144%
7. Jessica Biel Up 138%
8. Weddings Up 117%
9. Harry Potter Up 95%
10. Bratz Up 67%
