FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Surrounded by bad parking? Maybe you should move to Russia.

A new Android app called Douche Parking is aimed at stopping what its creators call “parking douches in Moscow” by subjecting them to public shame — in the news and on billboards.
When users see poor parking, all they have to do is snap a photograph with their phones and upload them to the Parking Douche database.

“Douche parking is a huge problem in Russia,” the creators explain in the video advertising the app.
“The data is streamed live to banner ads that are targeted through an IP address, so people that live or work close to locations where these cars were parked see it.”
The ads will appear on the Moscow-based online newspaper The Village. The news site is also the driving force behind the creation of the app.
On The Village site, people have the option of clicking to share the ad on social media — so their Facebook friends can join them in making fun of bad parking.
Public humiliation for parking offenses is nothing new. The website youparklikeanasshole.com launched in 2007. But the idea of harnessing mobile technology to make the process much more streamlined, and giving the photos prominent media placement — this is Parking Douche’s major asset.
At the time of writing, only one user has given any feedback about the app on its Google Play site. The assessment doesn’t concern how well the app works, but the user does note it’s a “nice way to humiliate people.”
There is no word yet whether the app will make its way to other countries.
Do you think bad parkers should be publicly humiliated like this? Sound off in the comments.
