Year: 2001 Length: 58:26 Access: PBS Summary: This Frontline documentary, Merchants of Cool focuses on the energy and resources marketing firms devote to finding what teens collectively decide is the "next big thing" or "cool." The documentary describes these firms as the merchants of cool and suggests that they are doing much more than simply catering to the demands of popular teen culture. They are co-creators of that culture. • Among other uses, the documentary would work well in an introductory sociology class as a means of understanding what culture is and how it works. It might also be used to illustrate the concept of social norms and how social norms can be considered a component of culture. Submitted By: Lester Andrist

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
