They made an actual reality show competition with prizing based on squid game. It’s all just aesthetics to these people.

Wasn’t the original Squid Game a social commentary, a critique of inequalities created by capitalism in South Korea kind of like Parasite? Anyone else think it completely went over the heads of Mr Beast, Netflix, McDonalds and most of the viewers?

Exactly.
I wonder what their reaction would be to a tv show where a bunch of CEOs were forced to compete to the death to entertain the masses.
Would that get a McDonald’s merch tie in. I think seeing private healthcare and fast food CEO’s being mown down by machine guns in a battle royale would be a real crowd pleaser.
