Pizza Hut Improves MySpace Effort, Still Falls Short

So, Pizza Hut’s removed most everything we found unliveable about their Pizza Hut delivery guy effort on MySpace. This time around they’re shooting for something innocuous and mild, changing their protagonist from a ridiculously self-absorbed tool to a fairly average gamer and HD lover.

The updated MySpace also includes Youtube videos that pretty much demonstrate how irresistible the guy is when he’s got a box of pizza in his hands. Judging from the jump in friends (it’s nearly doubled), the revamped MySpace is apparently slightly more palatable than the previous effort, but unless Pizza Hut plans on using the guy outside of MySpace in long-term ad campaigns or other guerilla efforts, we don’t see it working much in their favour.
