Here’s my question to you, Tetris re-enactors. Why would you go to all the trouble of making neon block-shaped hats, and skate down a hill to fit together into a big column, yet not use actual Tetris shapes?!

It’s maddening! There must be some copyright issue, but still, come on. Can they really have a trademark on L-shaped blocks?
