Ever wish you could toss a lobster at your best friend? What about inviting someone special to "share a tub of Flavs"? VH1 and Slide, producer of the Facebook /MySpace SuperPoke application, think maybe you have.

The two have teamed up to offer 30 VH1-themed SuperPokes:

Impressive, yes, but get this: Starting tomorrow, 10,000 SuperPokes will be randomly selected to air on VH1, as animations with the sender and recipient's names at the bottom. That's right, on television.

If you are one of the 350,000 daily users on Facebook or the 900,000 who downloaded the app on MySpace, you could get your chance at celebreality.

After the "SuperPoke!Fest" kicks off tomorrow, it will be accompanied by a four-day marathon of such VH1 classics as Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, and I Love New York. [Ed Note: Exactly as our founding fathers would have wanted us to celebrate Independence Day, I think.]
