Introducing "Schlep" - The First On-Demand Car Service Using Jewish Geography (Parody)
Have you heard of or used the new on-demand car services such as Uber, Hailo, Lyft, Gett, and Whisk?
If you have, you're ready for a new service with a real heimishe touch. It's called Schlep. Too bad that it's not real, but a parody created by Tyler Gildin of Elite Daily.
Run by Jewish mothers and based on Jewish geography, Schlep provides a nice Jewish mother as an entertaining chauffeur who, in exchange for driving you, will offer her daughter's hand in marriage, ask you to pick up her dry-cleaning, offer you a free lunch (straight out of her grocery bags), and have you squeeze in the backseat in between two pre-bar-mitzvah kids screaming the lyrics to pop songs.
Enjoy!

Idea of parody is good, but this carries it to the extreme. Too stereotypical for me.
