I always wondered if people actually looked through those pages and called numbers there. But well, it's a good idea, not very effective I suppose, unless it gets attention from other sources.

Is MTV out of money? Why are they acting so cheapish for promoting a show? i agree with jack... who really reads such ads? Anyways influencing 200 people in todays cluttered world is none the less a difficult task to achieve!
And then GOD said...
Let there be creativity!!!
I like the idea, BUT I question how well targeted it is. Most people who look through the lonely hearts columns I imagine are singletons in their 40's or older. I would imagine the show 'Disaster Dates' is aimed at a much younger target audience.
I might be wrong, but for that reason alone I have marked this advert down.
200 switchers? Wow.
I like it and I completely disagree with Dan above vis a vis the audience of that newspaper. It could very well be young adults. We don't know for sure. Copy is funny. Good job.
It's very similar to the mails that crowd my mailbox. Shiela, hot housewife age 24, is looking for some fun...
