As another footnote, consider the parable of the Buddha involving the two monks who approached him. Both had not earned a single scrap of food from begging the whole day. When the Buddha offered his food, one of the monks took it gladly and left. The other, left as well, but he expressed his dissapointment that he could not have stayed for a lesson from the enlightened one. The moral of this parable is of much dispute, but "Tenshi Eating a Corndog" turns this on its head.
In it, we see the ancient Eastern concept of enlightenment, complete with the divine rainment of the Heavenly Courts eating a corndog, the concept of post-industrial American capitalism through easily prepared and eaten food. Once more, we see the Infinite and Finite within a hand's breadth.
