VH1’s “The Pickup Artist” Promo

This was probably inevitable: “Mystery,” one of the primary protagonists of Neil Strauss’ The Game, is now staring in a reality series on VH1, where shlubs will compete to pick up ladies with the “Mystery Method.”

If you do a little searching on the internet you can find the videos Mystery made of his conquests over the years (as Strauss wrote about). They’re mildly interesting/cringe-inducing, but I can’t imagine the VH1 series is really going to be any better, even with the contest aspect.
