MTV So Ready to Infect You

MTV comes out with a Room Raiders for the born-after-1995 set — Meet or Delete is a dating show in which contestants are allowed to rummage through one another’s computers. The premise itself isn’t terrible, and allows for all the interacting-with-ex-girlfriend-via-IM drama that Room Raiders lacked, but, as Gawker points out, the show’s current viral marketing is retarded.

Firstly, they’ve located their viral video at the following URL:

And it looks more like unused footage from The Ring than a plug for a dating show.

On the other hand, though, I’m writing about it.
