The Shrine

I saw this happen on Jamie Kennedy one time, but that was fake, this guy must have been SOOOO embarrassed.

Frankly, I don't have much pity for the guy. Asking someone to marry you in such a public setting is stupid.

Maybe he thought it would make it exciting for the girl.

I still feel bad for the guy even if he apparently didn't know his girlfriend well enough to know better.

I think that a marriage proposal should be something intimate, personal and private. You're asking someone if they want to commit the rest of their life with you. Why would you want to do that in front of thousands? It makes no sense to me. In this case, since we can assume she said "No," we can also assume that he wasn't sure of what her answer would be. (That is, I know people who all but know they're going to get married even though they're not engaged yet.) Why then make her answer that question in front of thousands? Does anyone like answering <i>anything</i> in front of thousands?

If you want exciting, this does not seem like a good way of doing it.

Now I do actually feel sorry for him about that.

Oh, I totally agree. That's the exact reason I propsed in the privacy of my house with the windows drawn. I'm just looking at it from his possible point of view. Some people just don't know any better.

My guess is that he fells the extra pressure makes it more difficult for her to say no. If that was his intent, then I'm glad this guy got shot down.

Fake.

That's lame.

Ha. How weak.

If that's how the NBA wants to "spice" up the NBA experience, they must be ALL outta ideas.

It's not like the in-game product is providing enough excitement. And what are they gonna do, market the players? Who?
