I saw this advertismement linked above that perhaps some OS bloggers in hard time could use last night while watching Steven King's Thinner, and in the context of working in a law office, it really hit home as to the revenge of the American Indian being a quiet if ongoing success story.

As to the law office angle on this story, I called around Mississippi attorneys to see if there was one who would associate with us on a slip and fall accident case in an Indian casino. It's a good case, it's just a hike for the firm here, so, find someone closer to the scene, and sue the Indians, no biggie, just like anyone else.

Not quite.

In the town where the Tribe, the Mississippi Band of Choctaws, is located, not one wanted to touch the case. Not one. They were afraid of the Indians.

Seems like the tag line from Steven King's movie Thinner, "The White Men in Town" were all on the Injun's payroll, and had no interest on stepping on any Injun toes.

If you read the Choctaw Constitution, its a nice set-up they have on those casinos as to being rather insulated from the Pale Faces lawsuits, as they merrily collect Pale Face dollars in their slot machines et al...: Revenge of the Indians on the White Man From Town.

(It beats what happens if you take out a marker in a non-Indian Mississippi casino, debtor's prison, but that's another story.)

But the Revenge of the Indians in the Style of Steven King's Thinner really hit home when I watched that movie again last night, and saw the no collateral loan service linked above from the Injuns.

As to Steven King movie Thinner, in the movie, that is the John Lithgow's rapidly shrinking character's ultimatum refrain to lift the gypsy curse: if the gypsies don't lift their curse, they will suffer from "The Curse of the White Man from Town."

It actually doesn't work out very well with the lifting of the curse, not to give away too much, if it makes for a bitter ending worthy of Alfred Hitchcock, with a moral to the story as usual in Steven King as to sin, in this case as to gluttony, as opposed to the greed of Needful Things.

So biblical is King always, as great artists so often are.

But as to the advertisement during Thinner, there is an Indian brave as the pitchman saying, "If you want up to $5,000 in a a no collateral loan, we're here for you. Yes, the money's expensive, but if you need it...."

"The money's expensive, Pale Face, but if the Pale Faces need the Injuns, we're here for you." 

That's pretty funny, to have the Injuns go into legalized loansharking off of the Pale Faces gambling proceeds, if, like in Thinner, the White Man totally had it coming to him too.
