I found a magazine called '360'. Unfortunately I do not yet understand it, but seems like it is connected to my theme. All of their cartoons are tagged with criticizing capitalism. http://www.360magazine.nl/cartoon

Watched Woody Allen's new movie To rome with love. The movie was as presumed pretty much under the the capabilities of the classic Woody Allen, unfortunately. But there was one aspect that it resembled with my idea. Through two examples he showed that in everybody there is something why he could be picked up and become famous. First character is a 'nobody' with an ordinary, predictable, structured life. Out of the blue the 'tabloids' the boulvard news pick him up and reports his every ordinary movement such as morning shaving.

The second one is another ordinary guy who worked all his life in a creamotory. After every shift we takes a loooong shower to get rid of the inconvenient smells. So he sings operas under the shower. And suddenly someone discovers his extraordinary talent for opera singing, by coincidence. He tries to convince this man, that he must do something with his talent, he must show this to the world. The talented man tries but in front of a stranger big audience he fails. But his mentor figures that he must continue how this talented man was singing all his life: under the shower just with a huge audience, so they build and place a shower on stage. This is how this man becomes famous.
