mismatched advertising

It seems Viddler has received a large advertising from the ABC-Disney group, because it has run several video advertisements from SOAPnet about a new show they’re about to run. The context is interesting: two women from different cities take a vacation in each other’s hometown and date around. However, the ad begins thus: “What if the perfect guy for you is in Denver? What if the perfect guy for you is in Houston?” Thanks, SOAPnet. Now I’ll be wondering where the perfect guy for me is. Also, the ads tend to use a lot of stereotypes of the city in question.
