The Week contest: Shopping spree
Last week's question: A Utah mom gave her 6-year-old her Amazon password to order a single Barbie doll as a reward, and then got a delivery for $350 worth of Barbies and other toys. Please come up with the name of a horror film or comedy based on a child acquiring his or her parents' passwords for Amazon and other potentially expensive websites.
