Two of my better startup ideas are a Sokal Affair style hoax to get free PR, and the other is an elaborate mockumentary about startups.
The startup mockumentary idea could make someone a lot of money. If "virtual wallet attempt #21441" isn't pivoted into a mockumentary, they are missing a golden financial opportunity. I'm not sure what would be a better movie topic, perhaps kitty litter delivery over the internet? This does have certain implications for the movie idea because buying the rights to one of the numerous failed virtual wallet dotcoms might be the simplest way to get the intellectual property for the movie.
I'm not kidding about this. A hoax / mockumentary combo in startup-ville could be a serious moneymaker of a movie. I could see it pitched as a light summer comedy. Someone's going to do this sooner or later... best hurry up.
