Catfish

Nev and Max chronicle the world of interweb dating--computer dating has moved past the random number generators in "Statistics with Probability" (Shorack, unpublished)--in "Catfish: The TV show."

This show is definitely addictive. Teens creeping on sorority girls (duh!), fake revenge pages (wow...), and love that blossoms no matter who the person turns out to be (aww).

I realize this show has been on MTV for a while now (they're up to their 9th episode), but I didn't hear about it until my cousin mentioned it this Christmas eve. So... watch up, and be ready to laugh, cry, express yourself.
