Flirt on a Dare?

I was reading an issue of Seventeen magazine today and stumbled upon an article that reportedly teaches you how to be a better flirt. The most ridiculous tip that I saw (there were 50 total) was going to the Apple store, walking up to the hottest guy you saw, notice what he was looking at and abruptly say, "My friend just got that and loves it! Are you getting one too?" because apparently guys love to talk to about technology and will fall madly in love with any girl who shares that interest (or pretends to, that is). Honestly, how many guys will give you a weird stare when you randomly approach them and start talking to them (see title link)? The tip was appropriately titled, "Catch his eye-Pod." Corny or what?
