American adaptation of Japanese cult classic novel Battle Royale. Bunch of teens have to murder each other until there's only one standing.

And I guess the later bits of the HG trilogy have some politics or something, who cares.

from a marketing standpoint that's the heritage, but actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games#Origins_and_publishing_history it's just another universe created out of reality television fearmongering

It's a contest where the winner lives and everyone else dies. The people putting on the contest all dress in extravagant, flamboyant outfits. That's about all there is to the joke.

The "Battle Royale ripoff" is a joke too.

at one point i complained like a human being baby about how it was really hard to lose the money from being a professor by running this campaign and all i really want to do is write another book about this thing i am doing now and how i squandered 13 million dollars on radio ads despite achieving only an increase in the likelihood of pileups by putting drivers to sleep with my whiny droning voice

It didn't make it into Lessig's platform, but "When I'm president, everyone gets a free pony" was a plank aggressively advocated by one of his long-time supporters.
