I recently saw a really funny video lampooning brands titled "This is A Generic Brand Video." It's pretty spot on, in terms of brand videos:

I was instantly reminded of this video when I learned of Distrubed frontman David Draiman's new venture, Wingman. He is teaming up with Vonage founder Jeff Pulver on the project, so it seems like it's legit. The app's website states:
We are proud to have the opportunity to share with you a vision. A vision based on creating a positive, and incredibly valuable tool; utilizing technology to bring people together, encouraging more meaningful, and valuable, true human connections and interactions.
In today's digital world, the answers are right in front of you, if you only had the right tool to help you find them…it doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from. At one time or another in all of our lives, we all need a Wingman.
So is it a personal assistant? A dating app? A stalking device? What is it?!? The company's website asks "Where will Wingman take you next?" How about to the explanation room.
I thought perhaps if I watched a 3 minute interview with Draiman on Fox Business channel, I would get some sort of idea of what the app is…
Nope! They spend time talking about marketing and such.
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS APP??? I reached out to Draiman on Twitter asking him, but got no response as of this post's publishing.
