You know that game show where people have to guess whether something is cake?
Satire is the new cake, and it's more difficult to tell the difference.

Wait, that was a real show? I thought it was a meme lmao
Sorry, it's not actually a real show, it was just a cake that was decorated to look strikingly similar to a television program
Was it done live? I'd imagine that would be hell on the cake decorator's wrists.
GREAT question! It was designed to replicate a tv show when spun at 24hz, and a new cake was made for each segment of the show, usually 12 per episode plus one for the results and two for commercial breaks. Multiple bakeries were used, but to maintain consistency each bakery produced all 13 cakes per one single episode (the advertisement cakes were all handled by a single bakery and were often reused).
The article is worth reading.
