TrashDay: Parody or peak bubble alert? (sfgate.com)

    Once you sign up for the $32-$52/month service, 
    the company will come assess your home’s trash situation, 
    *get copies of your keys*, and then show up the afternoon 
    before your trash pickup to roll your cans out to the curb.
Please let this be a parody.


That there is actually any confusion about this tells me shit has jumped the Sharknado and is about to hit the fan.

> if no one can tell if your startup is satire or real, either you're screwed or we all are.

My vote is for parody. If we find out that a service that charges in the neighborhood of $40 a month to roll out your trash cans is real, we are on official bubble alert. If we find out that they are backed by $5 million in venture funding, sell everything you own right now!
