Shiva/Saraswati: Capitalism Drunks

Two deities descend to Earth and investigate the contours of capitalism rhetoric through the cinematic lens of dowry-tourism!

This is a capitalism folk-tale about wrought American dance. What do you think?

The US city of Reno is the place of offbeat casino tourism and gambling. It's not the standard neon city like Atlantic City or Las Vegas. It's the out-of-the-way capitalism detour. It's a place where one might go to forget about 9/11.

SHIVA: I like Reno and I think we could visit there as transformed humans!

SARASWATI: Alright, but we must respect capitalism novelties like consumerism items.

SHIVA: I'll buy you a Swatch watch!

Shiva, the god of destruction/meditation, and Saraswati, the goddess of learning/music, decided to transform into humanoids and visit the US city of Reno (Nevada) and do some gambling and casino-play in the neon city of lights and offbeat tourism! The two deities wanted to talk about the nature of capitalism imagination and why Bugsy had created Las Vegas and why American tourists liked Atlantic City. Shiva/Saraswati were thinking about the colors of capitalism-dance.

Shiva became nerdist computer scientist named Amlan Satan. He's into strange video-games like Monopoly (Parker Brothers). He's also into some of the arcade centers in Reno and shares with Saraswati a human love of lit up casinos.

Saraswati became a fashion-model working for Esquire and Vogue and wanted to do a Reno article on the quality and training of showgirls in the offbeat casino-city. Saraswati was the photojournalist named Veronica now and wanted to do a cover-story of the fantastic lives of Reno showgirls and why they reflected her newfound interest in casino-consciousness!

Meanwhile, Amlan dressed up like an ex-President and robbed a Reno bank pretending to be an Algerian terrorist named Reagan. He told the guardsmen and bank manager he wanted to rob the bank quickly and smoothly to create a human theater of anti-capitalism showmanship that didn't resemble the shocking terrorism of 9/11. It was a rather dirt show in that Reno bank that afternoon.

Shiva (Amlan) and Saraswati (Veronica) then went to Dartmouth College in New England to give a special lecture about the intellectual intrigue surrounding the academic arenas of capitalism folklore. They talked about Bonnie and Clyde, the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, and Bugsy. They talked about why modern scholars could analyze capitalism through the modern lens of traffic divination.

The two met a strange bowling guru in New England named the Dude. This guy wasn't interested in bank robbers or casinos and wanted to know what's so special about capitalism folklore. He liked drinking Heineken and playing poker and that's all! Shiva and Saraswati told this strange highwayman that the magic of capitalism was in the quality of Americanized daydreams. The Dude confessed they're saying something interesting about the entertaining nature of anti-capitalism storytelling (e.g., Dog Day Afternoon).

SHIVA: I've kept a Transformers (Hasbro) toy as a consumerism souvenir!

SARASWATI: Well, at least they won't say we're just fascinated by outlaw literature.

SHIVA: Capitalism can be so darn child-like.

Is this a story about toys, outlaws, folklore, daydreams, civics, traffic, America, or just plain old allegories? What do you think?
