THE BENT SIDE
CHOOSE YOUR BAD DECISION.
Six rooms. Questionable prizes. Zero reasonable explanations. Inspired by the old AssholeMedia universe: twisted headlines, suspiciously dramatic receipts, Hollywood absurdity, and the creators who made the whole circus worth watching.
ROOM 01 // DISINFORMATION DEPARTMENT
THE HEADLINE MUTATOR
Feed a perfectly ordinary event to the celebrity publicity machine. Watch it emerge with a completely unreasonable headline.
The machine is waiting for its first sacrifice.
ROOM 02 // THE RECEIPTS
REDACTION ROULETTE
Click the blacked-out portions of this highly suspicious document.
BENT RECORD / FILE # 404 / INTERNAL
The committee has determined that the plot was replaced with a press release. All relevant receipts are stored inside a suspiciously large handbag.
Totally fictional document. Ridiculously accurate office energy.
ROOM 03 // CREATOR CORNER
THE INSIDE-JOKE SLOT MACHINE
Pull the lever for a completely unnecessary combination from the creator universe.

Three reels. Infinite nonsense.
ROOM 04 // PSYCHOLOGY OF THE CIRCUS
SPOT THE TACTIC
Which tactic is being described? Pick an answer and see if the machine agrees.
ROOM 05 // THE DICKTIONARY'S DISTANT COUSIN
INSULTS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION
Petty? Yes. Specific? Alarmingly. Generate a harmlessly absurd insult fit for a talking cartoon subpoena.
Your personality is buffering…
ROOM 06 // TABLOID FUNHOUSE
THE MIRROR OF PUBLICITY
A publicity headline goes in one side. A ridiculous translation comes out the other.
HOLLYWOOD TRANSLATION SERVICES“WE'RE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE…”
“PLEASE CLAP.”

WELCOME TO THE EVIDENCE DISCO.
The lights are bad. The playlist is worse. Somewhere, a tiny legal pad is doing the cha-cha. Congratulations: you've reached the part of the site with absolutely no adult supervision.
