The Scoreboard Is A Lie™
“The game never started; the scoreboard lied.” Collapse of meaning via sport metaphor.
The Scoreboard Is A Lie™ is a surreal sports broadcast from the end zone of civilization. No kickoff ever happens, the anthem is silence itself, and the scoreboard runs surreal tickers—TEAM NOSTALGIA vs. TEAM PROGRESS, TEAM DATA vs. TEAM SOUL. Expansion: live performance events, interactive tickers, merch (“PLEASE RISE FOR NOTHING”), podcast commentary, and franchise spin-off The League of Eternal Play™.
