the Hunger Games — a wildly successful novel series and movie franchise
about a dystopian American future in which children battle to the death
in an arena for their district’s pride
Which shows the pathetic state of “wildly successful” modern literature today. The Hunger Games, the FoxNEWS in literature for the brain dead masses.

President Obama made a similar joke in early July. (I was there in person to see it.)
“You know, we’ve got some healthy competition in the Democratic Party, but I’ve lost count on how many Republicans are running for this job. They’ll have enough for an actual Hunger Games.” -POTUS
