God that was amazing, I love how the announcer spits prophecy.

I loved T-Mac's reaction... priceless.

 
WoodyHayes [TotalFark] 2008-02-18 01:08:43 PM  
I really don't trust stuff like this anymore, who knows if it was real or not.

 
Brooks [TotalFark] 2008-02-18 01:49:41 PM  
I'm thinking, from her initial reax, that it is indeed fake.

 
4NSpy 2008-02-18 02:15:23 PM  
bad acting by the chick

If it was real, (big IF) that's some cold blooded shiate going on.

Are divorce decrees given during the Houston Texan's halftime?

Are they sure this was last week? Seems identical to the fake one we saw last year, right down to the "actors"

 
MickCollins 2008-02-18 02:32:00 PM  
It was fake. She was an awful,awful actress.

 
EwokHunter 2008-02-18 02:33:15 PM  
of course it was fake, I've seen many photoshops in my time....

 
LesserEvil [TotalFark] 2008-02-18 02:34:03 PM  
Hmmm... checking the schedule, it did happen on the 13th, after the first quarter.

Still looks like the EXACT same stunt that was faked last year.

It was lame last year, still lame this year. Why is a "NO" a "right" thing for the fans? If this is fake, the guy should have thrown the ring box into the crowd and told her to fark off for being such a biatch. THAT would be entertaining, at least.

 
LesserEvil [TotalFark] 2008-02-18 02:40:26 PM  
This couple looks amazingly familiar (new window).... hmmmmm.

Apparently, basketball marketing people think rejected marriage proposals (new window) are what the fans really want.

Could you tell by the pixels?

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong
/love the fact that he is barley off the court and someone had already handed him a beer

 
eugene'slament 2008-02-18 02:46:37 PM  
If that is fake, which I believe it is, that is the lamest thing I have ever seen. People actually are getting paid to fake a marriage proposal! What a farce, I would be uncomfortable watching that at a pro-sports game. Stick with the breakdancers and scantily clad women I don't need to see fabricated heartbreak, I read Fark too much already.

 
Calvin Butterball 2008-02-18 02:49:37 PM  
Yeah, it's fake. The lady works for the Rockets.

 
RonJeremy 2008-02-18 02:52:16 PM  
It made T-Mac laugh, which means he will be in the injured list by this afternoon..

Yep.

Fake.

And lame.

jesuspants 2008-02-18 03:13:01 PM  
it was fake. i saw the same thing happen at a saramento kings game

 
tulax 2008-02-18 03:16:37 PM  
Didn't RTFA, but I was at a Rockets game two weeks ago and they had the PowerDancers out in little schoolgirl outfits. If not for the music over the PA you could have heard a pin drop in the place. No one talked, everyone just stared. . .and drooled a bit.

They should have stuck with that for Valentines Day.

Now that's funny, and true.
SbB would be entirely useless if it wasn't for Crystal and Denise. And Denise Milani (sp?) has her own website...Cmon Crystal!!!

You do know that this was a sacramento kings game? they were just playing in Houston. They flash the score at the end of the video.

 
Lordmontu 2008-02-18 03:30:39 PM  
At least he got a free beer out of it. More than fair consolation prize.

/Maybe two...

 
FishingWithFredo 2008-02-18 03:33:26 PM  
I'm calling bullshiat.

Had kind of a WWE quality to it. She said no in a way that made it clear she was saying no, emphatically shaking her head, etc.

If it was real, she wouldn't have been so demonstrative.

Stunt.

 
GoodyearPimp 2008-02-18 03:34:19 PM  
Fake? No way. There's plenty of reasons that a guy might give for taking his lady friend out onto center court in the middle of a basketball game.

That said, I think I could get married to a woman that I felt comfortable proposing to at a sporting event (in the stands).

If there gonna do this, they should go all out. Screaming, slapping, hair pulling, the whole nine yards. After she leaves, put on some emo music, dim the lights, play a montage on the scoreboard...

Halftime: have him get drunk, getting a lap dance by one of the dancers, going through one of those "what does it all mean?" phases. Meanwhile, show a montage of her realizing all the good times they had together, and how much she misses those stupid little things that shouldn't matter but really do, damn it.

Fourth Quarter: The big reconciliation! Just as it looks like everything is going to work out, flash the video of him getting a lap dance. Then she punches him in the balls, and runs out of the stadium. Que Adam Sandler's "Love Stinks."

Now THAT's quality in-game entertainment!

What a fake. I've seen this done before.

Air Canada Center had the exact same thing happen at a Leaf game two years in a row. Amazing eh? Thankfully, I think they laid that shtick to rest.

GoodyearPimp: Fake? No way. There's plenty of reasons that a guy might give for taking his lady friend out onto center court in the middle of a basketball game.

Like I already posted, this has been done several times already - rejected marriage proposals that were fake, thought up by some idiotic marketing "genius" who thought this would be entertaining.

Worse, the fans didn't even get any real drama - they ranged from a woman running out to this. BORING. LAME.

Yes, it was fake. At least Now That's What I Call a Taco! has the right idea.

The idiots who keep pushing this fake crap on the fans without making it the least bit interesting need to be taken out, put up against the wall and shot.

 
macdaddy357 2008-02-18 04:40:18 PM  
What would be even better for getting a rise out of the crowd would be a proposal on the scoreboard, then a few minutes later, a rotating globe, and "not if you were the last man on earth!"

*looks at headline*

Wherever would they get that idea?

Yeah, I was there for that game. Cavaliers...

And they wonder why grown men chat to little girls online when the idea of a hottie is a woman dressed like a teenage girl. Derp.

I did honestly chuckle audibly at that. F'n polacks and their polishness...

Polak has a point though

skankboy: Thanks for coming to this thread to declare your hate. Stupid Polak.

Except that a Polish name would generally end in -ski. A more correct bigoted assumption would be "stupid Russian".
