Startup Sells Organizations a Pre-Scandal Satire Subscription

A new startup is selling institutional self-awareness by the month. Its $499 Basic plan delivers four jokes about existing contradictions, while Enterprise adds 24-hour crisis punchlines and a dashboard tracking outrage, reposts, and executive comfort. Clients receive a monthly invoice when the comfort score falls below its approved range.

A regional bank upgraded after its first criticism was rejected for lacking brand alignment. Satire as a Service issued a certificate confirming that the bank’s reputation had been sufficiently damaged for the quarter, which the bank filed beside its regulatory correspondence.

The $40,000 Pre-Scandal tier released jokes about the bank’s future fee increase two weeks early. The bank placed them in customer notices and announced that the controversy had already been processed, although the fee had not yet appeared on a statement.

When the bank postponed the increase after customers objected, the service logged the delay as a second contradiction and pushed a replacement joke to the mailing list. The subject line read: “Your Scandal Has Been Rescheduled.”
