Was anyone else expecting a 500 Startups parody?

I cant believe this has only 18 upvotes when the Meetup Delhi and Bangalore items have a lot more. I would never have known about this program if it was not posted on HN. Thanks Brajeshwar. And I will be posting comments on the other 2 topics to upvote this.

Are they expecting working prototypes? Is there any period for developing it and then submitting ?

I am not able to save my profile!!! It keeps on prompting to provide "my new password and confirm password" when trying to update the profile.

Really?, Downvoted for stating a problem?

Timeline says you can submit your application from 5-apr-2013 to 30-apr-2013. I dont think they have an expectation of a working prototype from what I've read on the various pages. Independently, I met an angel investment group head, and their expectation was just a business idea. So I think the expectation for Indian startups is a lot lower, at least in this 1st batch.
