I dunno... I can buy it. The choice is whether I WANT to buy it.
Filmmakers and writers do shite like this in movies to add hidden layers to stories.
I think it's there as a viable option if you want to accept it.
But I'm not going to... and I'll tell you why... the movie itself is too plot-driven in other areas for Lou to have generated it out of his own fantasy. Why would he bother, for instance, to have a fantasy about Chevy Chase, the hot tub repairman, or about John Cusack's music journalist love interest, or the one-armed bellhop?
To me, the inconsistencies in 80's history/culture have more to do with satisfying the retro-craze of the modern audience viewing the 80's as one big smear of neon and crimped hair. They don't know the 80's well enough to know that "Home Sweet Home" was recorded prior to 1986 or that "The Drive" occured in 1987. It doesn't matter to them.
The audience just thinks, "80's WOOOhoooOO!!" so, the director gives them a big ol' chunk of 80's. Not necessarily 1986.

new theory. lou is actually a flaming homosexual which is why in his suicide fantasy, he loses the bet about the game. he wants to suck the black guy's dick and sees this as the only way he'd have a chance.
