This is hilarious! Made me laugh :D

Edit: In case people aren't sure if this is a joke or not, view other articles on the site.

LOL )) This cant be true! I remember that night we went bear hunting in Moscow with Yuri! That was awesome! He was driving our tank and i was shooting my AK47 left and right with bottle of vodka in other hand! There were much more than 3 strippers in that tank (besides a bear that we got that night)

)))

I forgot you were even there that day vgurgov! But then, everything after taking that third body shot of Vladimir 'Punch my Abs, they're Real' Putin is a blur.

I've never seen this site before, some very /informative/ articles on there... I particularly liked this one;

Not that funny.

as a female hacker, especially after the objectification of women in the Social Network, this hits close to home even as it's satire.

I prefer not to take money for my startup at all, but I definitely won't be taking any from a (douche)bag.

yeah, seriously-I'm in the same boat, and this kind of humour in the startup world is just a disgusting turnoff.

thanks, glad I'm not alone :-).

RT @sacca @corbett_inc Totally fair point.

To the people downvoting this comment: The whole culture of booth babes and strippers really does put people off, and it happens at a lot of trade shows etc. Literally any time one brings up a problem one gets downvoted in these communities. It's like I have to be silent.

I didn't say it wasn't funny (although I may have thought that). If I had an autistic son, I might even (though probably not) think some autism jokes were funny but I'd still be able to say one hit close to home or maybe gasp have a due or undue sensitivity to it. Anyway, not judging those 89 people who had a laugh just bringing up the deeper issue.

agree about the role of women in the Social Network

but in this situation no-one said that strippers that came with Yuri were female! ;)

TheDailyWTF is no longer the only feed in my Google Reader's "Humor" folder.

Yes, it's a joke. Check out the other articles. It reminds me of The Onion.

It's actually Chuck Norris in disguise.

Amazing.

it can't be true. four bottles of vodka is too few. just nothing.

i hope this is real

So.. when is YC for applications again?

This is humor, right? Right?

Can someone tell me if this is real? I ACTUALLY can't tell.
