How to Get a Life!

A parody-vignette about the 'wonderland' of modern American fortune.

A funny take on the dystopia-comedy film How to Get Ahead in Advertising. Enjoy,

I've been making cartoon stick-figures of consumerism 'avatars' like Evil Elf online and buying capitalism-symbolic toys for my cyber-blogs about civilization, which have become quite popular!

My name is Satan. I go by the cyber-alias 'Storm-Shadow' and re-present myself as a vigilante of capitalism defense in this post-9/11 era of commerce infrastructure stability paranoia. I try to espouse the ideas of modern Western/American fashions and being Catholic endorse the use of social-media for the trumpets of consumerism and street mercantilism.

The toys I blog about are things like robots transforming into espionage-cassettes symbolizing communication intelligence for commercial globalism and NASDAQ iconography. Those who do this king of work are likened to Thomas Nast or Norman Rockwell, but I consider myself more akin to the likes of that 'Micro-Machines' TV-ad dude, the guy who spoke real fast (like auctioneers!) and celebrate toys/arts representing capitalism's 'cool' face.

I go to my local New England supermarket and notice a mother and daughter who tell me they're emigrants from Eastern Europe who fled the hot-zone during the Russo-Ukrainian tribulation. I tell the mommy about my princely-inherited New England fortunes and my home-work with commerce iconography cyber-journalism/arts and she's so intrigued that we fall in love and get married. That's a real American Dream!

Can patriotism win you the charms of a full American Dream in this post-9/11 era? I believe it can, simply because the modern accessibility of cyber-media (Internet) affords the Westerner 'unlimited' access to the 'conversations' surrounding the grids of real commercial dollars. The dream is real...and it's simply...delicious.
