I can't tell if this is a joke or not...
It's like a corollary to Poe's Law. I love it.

#22Start/Stoppable video so you can replay scenes http://vimeo.com/44424340
"We believe in the power of iteration, we originally started out as StumbleMonkey, which was like AirBnb but for online-dating, so when you left town you could rent out your spouse or partner. Great idea, but then we found out it was illegal, so we had to pivot.. So we changed our name to Googoprrrrrr. That's 6 r's. And that app was like Spotify, meets Grindr, but for rental cars, but ran as if it were for a hotel. "

#23Umm? Is this for real, or are we being trolled?
Re: Vooza Mobile App
#24I'm a bit confused. I feel like this is an extremely old joke at this point. Aren't we all pretty keenly aware of the memes and absurdities that crowd the startup industry? Am I missing some unique or new observation being made that hasn't been made 50 times already by pretty much everyone?
Taking it even a step further -- I'm jaded enough to believe they're actually going to piggyback off the promotion of this joke with a real product

#25The sad thing is it took me a few minutes to realize that this was a parody.
I'm pretty used to seeing Hacker News posts about something and having absolutely no idea what they are talking about . Based on the way headlines are edited, this seems to be on purpose.
Since you're probably wondering whence downvotes: You seem to be talking about going into a thread with a confusing headline and not understanding the topic. You're not meant to wade in with nothing more than the headline as a guide. Commenting on a story without reading it is a really annoying practice that leads to some very frustrating discussions.
EDIT: Wow, downvoted into the ground for trying to be nice and explain constructively what I disagreed with. I don't mean to complain, but I would like to suggest that readers consider what kind of discourse they'd like to see before blindly downvoting.

The first video satirizing the Apple-style "design process" promotional videos was great.
The second video making fun of buzz words (cloud, social, local), acronyms (RSS, API) and startups being oblivious to making money is a really tired and overdone joke.
