There Will Never Be Cake!

People who aren't gamers and/or who haven't played PORTAL may figuratively scratch their heads when they see the ubiquitous phrase:

The cake is a lie.
Without spoiling the PORTAL narrative, I can tell you that this phrase is merely pointing out the fact that we are living in what is a profoundly cakeless society. During the most challenging trials of your life, if someone promises you cake, don't you fucking believe them.

Because you know what, kids? The cake is a lie. If you can get through these hard times, don't be expecting any fucking cake, okay? And unless you can somehow find a cake recipe and bake it for yourself, there will NEVER be any cake in this exceptionally cake-forsaken world!!!

Got that?

Well, knowing that will make this video a bit more poetic...


Sure, the official explanation may be that these are just custom station IDs for KAKE-TV in Wichita, Kansas...

... but perhaps this is the ultimate confirmation that everyone in LOST is a big, bad bucket of lies.
