Reminds me of this story. When Disney first decided to build MGM Studios on their property in Florida their concept was simple - "build a realistic in all details working backlot to show the tourists." Problematically, that's just what happened. Disney did such a good job building a "fake" backlot that quite a few productions wanted to use it as a "real" one. Now, rather than "fake actors and production folks" hanging out making "fake movies" they were faced with the very real problem of having "real actors and production folks" hanging out making "real movies". Can't show the tourists that right? So they had to build another, less realistic backlot and go back to their original plan of hiring "real actors and production folks" to portray "real actors and production folks" in a totally "fake" environment.

To further stretch credibility, I'm not sure this story is true. Perhaps it's simple a modern parable for the dissonance that Kired is experiencing.
