  • America’s sexiest bad girl Megan Fox plays Activision’s Guitar Hero with family over Thanksgiving dinner. Nintendo’s motion sensing Wii controller inspires even seniors to get their game on. This demographic expansion of casual gaming fuels a multi-year triple digit percentage run for both stocks.
  • 2008 - Soon to be First Lady Michelle Obama sports a J. Crew ensemble during her appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno”. Her public embracing of the brand caused sales to spike. The retailer’s stock price soon followed.
