In order to promote its version of Craigslist (Ed. – Oh, you know they hate it when you say it like that), Microsoft is offering college students the opportunity to double date with four members of MTV’s The Real World: Key West.

There’s a catch: 1. You have to post an actual ad on Windows Live Expo, and 2. you have to be a student at The University of Wisconsin Madison, The University of Washington, Ohio State University, or the University of Texas.

Two “winners” from each school will be able to hit the town – or local hot tub – with Real Worlders Svetlana, John, Janelle, and Zach, who synergistically just happen to have pages on MSN My Space. Notice Bill and Steve are not part of the grand prize.
