Lollapalooza (Shiva-Unicron): Commerce Diocese?

[Abishai100]

This is a commerce-consciousness discussion between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and Unicron (fictional giant A.I. robot from Transformers entertainment franchise symbolizing anarchy) regarding the consumerism maturity of Lollapalooza (annual folk-punk music-festival representing populism festivity and arguably commercialism fineries).

Is consumerism in any way spiritual?

====

SHIVA: Lollapalooza represents folk happiness...
UNICRON: It's a childish music festival catered to a lackadaisical crowd!
SHIVA: There's nothing 'superficial' about commercial ornaments.
UNICRON: Really? Why is Facebook (a 'social ornament') so mindless?
SHIVA: Ha. Facebook is a 'guilty-pleasure' (that's all).
UNICRON: Consumerism creates layers of sloth (e.g., Burger King).
SHIVA: That's why we create commerce idealism platforms (e.g., Microsoft Windows).
UNICRON: Intellectual 'aesthetics' in capitalism does not cancel out avarice.
SHIVA: Really? Why then is Monopoly (Parker Brothers) so popular?
UNICRON: Well, that real-estate board-game symbolizes investment creativity.
SHIVA: So, Wall Street can offer creativity...not only avarice.
UNICRON: Remember the Napster fiasco?
SHIVA: I doubt Lollapalooza is shattered by commerce loopholes (e.g., Napster).
UNICRON: Countless people download songs for their iPods for Lollapalooza.
SHIVA: Consumerism can be like cotton-candy (not necessarily narcotics).
UNICRON: It seems to me that eBay is a 'convenience-narcotic.'
SHIVA: American films like LOL and Dollars symbolize commerce-convention idealism!
