Proposing Fail

[DrumStix]

Just goes to show that sometimes, the answer won't always be "yes".

Epic fail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esr_okP5Qmo&feature=channel)

I actually feel sorry for the poor guy...:(

[Sarge51]

Wow, he did NOT look happy. lol

[Mega-Tallica]

I'd dump that chick now :p

[DrumStix]

Wow, he did NOT look happy. lol

I wouldn't look happy either.

Especially in front of over 100,000 people both on Television and at the game.

[Starfleet_Rambo]

Saw that on Sports Center when it happened.

[tridentgum0]

This is like, ancient, and I'm still not convinced it wasn't set up.

[Banky71]

I don't feel sorry for the guy at all. He's a moron for even thinking this was a good idea. I feel more sorry for the girl. He's the one who decided to make the moment public, not her. He humiliated her in front of a live studio audience and on TV no less. The guy is an idiot.

[BallisticJunkfood]

How can people put that up on failblog and laugh at it? That is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

[HeyRiles]

It's fake, they do that at a lot of basketball games, always around Valentine's day

[davidshek]

It's fake, they do that at a lot of basketball games, always around Valentine's day

The announcer even says it's a prank towards the end of the video.

[bmaninc]

I will eventually propose to Banky at halftim of a Syracuse game.

[Banky71]

I will eventually propose to Banky at halftim of a Syracuse game.

Swoon!

...Not in front of Wes Johnson though!

[bmaninc]

It will be in front of that bastard Leo Rautins.

[Banky71]

Syracuse is like team Canada!

[Wrathy]

The announcer even says it's a prank towards the end of the video.

And there's me with my selective hearing about to burst into tears. :p

[Jglaubman]

I didn't know it was fake... but when I thought it was real, the funniest part is at 50 seconds in... the mascot going "WTF?"

[WingsOfSteel]

I'd dump that chick now :p

Except she already rejected you in front of a stadium full of people.

/attention fail

You do understand that they could have been boyfriend/girlfriend right?

He may have been rejected from becoming her husband, but that doesn't kick off the idea that their relationship isn't over.

[Soratar]

The announcer even says it's a prank towards the end of the video.

No, the announcer says that his comment (I'm just waiting for one girl to say no) was meant to be a joke.

[davidshek]

No, the announcer says that his comment (I'm just waiting for one girl to say no) was meant to be a joke.

Yes, I'm quite aware of that, since I actually watched the entire video.

At 1:02, he says "You know I was just joking when I said that, right?" (about wanting to see a girl say No)

But then at 1:20 one of the announcers says, "A little prank here on the night before Valentine's Day..."

Seriously people, it's not even 2 minutes long...can you not watch the whole thing before commenting on it? :p

but isn't the point of dating to find a wife/husband?

[Daesania]

but isn't the point of dating to find a wife/husband?

Not for every couple.

[hawkofva]

Not for every couple.

It could have been one of these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wFpvRMIIEM) situations. (Caution: Parrotheads.)

[DrumStix]

but isn't the point of dating to find a wife/husband?

...:rolleyes:

Not always.

[afterstasis]

but isn't the point of dating to find a wife/husband?

this might be the most mortifying sentence i've read in my entire life.

[Sarge51]

but isn't the point of dating to find a wife/husband?

Not if you're a guy or a sex addict. Then it's just a trick to get in your pants.

But yes, I thought that's how it went. Meet someone -> date -> if things go well -> marriage

Marriage is an obsolete institution. If you hadn't noticed, more than half of them these days end in divorce. (Yes, really)

[weeyoo]

Haha thats terrible. What a ***** just walking off the court.

[Sarge51]

Marriage is an obsolete institution. If you hadn't noticed, more than half of them these days end in divorce. (Yes, really)

That's because people make stupid decisions and "fall in love" without actually getting to know each other. Which is what dating should be about. Getting into the core of someone's personality. It's also a flirt-fest. :p

that bad, huh?

[overdriveguitarman]

No I think I've done worse!

A blanket generalization that, unfortunately, is just not true. My ex-wife and I were dating for 5 years before we got married. I think it's fair to say we knew each other pretty darn well at that point. :)

[aggiesrul8]

And it turns out it was all a hoax....

You can't always believe everything you see (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Video-When-in-arena-marriage-proposals-go-wrong?urn=nhl,219631)

[maitee1]

First thing I thought when I saw the report on HLN Monday was fake but I still like the College Humor prank proposal still gets me everytime.

Most people also don't date very long before they're getting married either. My sister and her husband dated for 4 years before they got married. And my Brother and his soon-to-be wife have dated for 5 years before they get married next month. Though, you are right.

[ELDUDEARINO69]

The girl was freakin laughing and smiling through the whole damn thing... And she wasn't crying...Give me a break. Most girls if they were together for at least a year or two would cry in that situation IMO. No way she was smiling & laughing through the damn thing. I call BS
