The swarm of locals butchering the elephant carcass while wearing GoDaddy hats is by far the most disturbing part of the episode.

MailChimp launched in 2001. It is a little late in the game to call them a start-up.

Steve Martin is a class act.
This is all I need. This lamp and this remote control and this paddle-ball game. Oh - and this.

You're clueless. That's OK - all high school seniors are.
Go to college. You'll have fun. You'll grow up. You'll make friends that you'll have forever. You'll learn more than you think.

It has the potential to drastically alter search, which thus would drastically alter PPC. The likeliest negative outcome is the gradual disappearance of any traffic driven from long-tail search keywords.

Agreed 100%. VCs aren't in the risk game. They're in the risk-mitigation game.

I did quite a few perception mapping exercises while I was in business school.* They get really interesting when you take experiment a level deeper and seek to understand how different customer segments perceive your brand/product.
For example, the beer study would get much more interesting if one could assess the results by segment - say "beer expert", "college student", "joe blue collar", etc. The outcomes can really inform positioning and message...and can lead to product extensions based purely around marketing. Diet Coke (for women) and Coke Zero (for me) are a great example.

Similarly, every nice restaurant will have a $60 steak entree on the menu to make the $29 chicken entree appear more affordable.
