Well I am split sort of. I think this is creepy and way goes beyond I think acceptable.
I can state growing up from an orthodox Jewish home, that the belief and norm of the community was (and is) no ding with no ring. We did not have rings, we did not have a ceremony vowing to protect etc... A lot of it actually entails two aspects of Jewish believe [1] having sex with someone (but you would need witnesses that saw you 2 go in to the room, and other stuff) actually can technically cause marriage (it is technical and no desire to go in to it beyond the basic concept). [2] You can not waste your seed.
So I have no issue with the idea of trying to encourage this, but I have to agree the whole concept of how they are going about it is so wrong. And also it only covers girls and no guys.
So I guess in the end I think they are wrong just because they do it only for the girls and because the whole ceremony of it just is wrong.
