I'm surprised you didn't get this. It's a simple phrasal substitution cipher,
sort of like a license plate. Think of it as this:
C SUMO CLU NE
See Sumo Clue No (clever putting a foreign word there, eh?
But not clever enough to throw us off! )
and realizing that sumo refers to sumo wrestling:
See wrestling clue no
and when you realize that a clue tells you about the reality of something:
See wrestling reality no
or rearranging:
See wresting no reality
or:
See, wrestling has no reality!
And you can see that it's a simple assertion that professional wrestling's
not real. It's wrong of course. Think about when they pick someone up
and throw them. If that happened to me it would hurt...don't you think?
