They've done bits that I have liked, a lot that I didn't care for but can just respectfully not be a fan of, but if this episode is really as described above (link won't let me watch it) it sounds kind of sick.
Regardless about how you feel about Uber or its competitors, I do not believe they actually endorse rape or are capable of hatching a plot to plan a real life rape to occur as a publicity stunt. This is what was described in this thread. And I found it disgusting, even if it were satire.
But I guess some folks on HN don't really take this kind of thing seriously.
