Off Topic: This Tech Startup Is Going To Fail Spectacularly
This is not a security company, but I am so amazed by the insanity of this tech startup's behavior that I had to share. The company is RapGenius and, as a product for understanding rap lyrics, it appears to be popular and useful. However, their wild ambitions ('be the biggest site in the world), their behavior (looks like a sketch from the Onion) and their lack of a business model are bizarre. Here's a video of them:
This just strikes me as the type of company 5 or 10 years from now that people will not believe even existed. It's like that Joaquin Phoenix documentary but evidently real.
Thoughts?

Look like a bunch of wannabe's to me.
