Having seen the demos yesterday, I can tell you that you will get "blackout" if you play.

However, I also want to note that this was the best set of presentations I've ever seen at a demo day.

Sure they use a lot of the same words and phrases, but that's because they are all trying to communicate the same thing in just 2 minutes: We're awesome and you should give us money to be more awesome.

I was surprised to see no squares had any form of the word "currated" in them.

Definitely agreed. Correlated with being the best batch yet!

I very specifically didn't say that. ;)

I know you probably meant it in jest, but really each batch has some great folks in it, and no batch is really "better" than any other. I wouldn't want anyone else to get a complex, since startup founders can be a sensitive bunch. :D

I did in fact seek out the founder of 9Gag to talk to him. He didn't know who I was.

He's a nice guy with good intentions.
