She's hot, looks rather sunny. Would love to take scattered showers with her in the mornings.

Ugh. How farking awkward was that?

I farking hate public proposals because it's just attention whoring. It also puts her on the spot and if it were me I'd be seriously pissed about that.

Usually, a man would never take such a risk unless he was sure of the answer.

Remember guys, always ask her when she can't possibly say no

 
Heroic Poser 2008-10-11 02:55:36 PM  
Then right after, he punched her in the ovaries.

Don't need a weatherman to know which way the anchorwoman blows.

I'm not gonna bother with cynicism. This was awesome.

Was afraid it was Abner and Karen with John backing up.

Here (new window) it is. The best part is the announcer right before the rejection.

That was so sweet, I think I caught diabetes just watching that clip.

A weatherman? Clearly this is just a front for Ayers and Obama to destroy America!

 
KaponoFor3 [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-10-11 03:52:49 PM  
That is quite possibly the worst proposal of all time:

Guy: "I was wanting to know if, uh, you might want to marry me. How about that?"

Girl: "Yes!"

Guy: "Are you sure? You haven't accepted it yet, you can still reject"

Horrible.

You're a cynic. Go outside and enjoy some sunshine. He obviously knows her well after 2.5 years of dating and knew she'd say yes.

My sappy side thought it was sweet.

I loved the fact that they had worked up a backdrop for him, that you see very briefly when they pan over to him.

Engaged? Married? Honeymoon? Kids? L(

 
miltonbabbitt 2008-10-11 06:23:35 PM  
As on-air proposals go, that was a good one.

 
SonOfSpam 2008-10-11 06:30:27 PM  
Notice how she wouldn't stand up to hug him? In my mind she wasn't wearing anything under the desk.

It's supposed to be a happy time! Why the long face?

What kind of self involved douche has to make a public spectacle of proposing to a girl?

Everyone knows that all weathermen are gay.

That's gross on so many levels :(

I like how the proposal was done in the TV News voice. They'll have annoying kids.

 
DrBrownCow 2008-10-11 06:40:14 PM  
Does he really talk like he is on TV all the time?

That's not real, it was a prank set up by the basketball team.

Nogale 2008-10-11 06:47:14 PM  
How awful. I think public proposals are vulgar and tacky. I'd love to hear someone say "no."

And why don't people break up in public, or tell their SO they want a divorce? Can you imagine: some guy gets up in a restaurant, clinks his glass and says "Ladies and gentlemen, for the last 7 years I've been married to this woman. It started out well, but the last two years have been torture. Counseling hasn't helped. I can't stand living with her. In fact, I've been having an affair with my secretary. [Turns to girlfriend] Mary Jane, I'm leaving you."

Pause.

Applause?

I swear there was an article on Fark some time back that said self-deprecating men (a la Hugh Grant in any of his movies) is the way to go...

I saw a guy propose to his girlfriend on the top of his racecar. He fastened the "question" to the top of his car before the start of the race, and then arranged with the track to do a parade lap all by himself. His girlfriend was at first oblivious, then stunned and then ran down to hug him and accept.

/was a real awwwwwwwww moment
//bet he got laid 7 times that night
///she's a redhead, too
////hawt

 
Mr Squirrel 2008-10-11 06:54:58 PM  
Right... does anyone propose in public without realizing how unfair it is to put someone on the spot like that?

Only a complete moran could.

 
Doc Batarang 2008-10-11 06:55:44 PM  
I saw what I assume was a public "No" once. I was working at a nightclub and this guy took over the mike and proposed, except we never heard from the girl. 'Cause I was in the kitchen, I also know we ate their special order dessert next morning! Yum yum!

Here's another one. Looks real. If people insist on making intimate moments public, they deserve what's coming to them.

It's still usually men who propose, but a couple of years ago there was a short Israeli film made about a radio host who proposes to her boyfriend on-air. He not only turns her down, he breaks up with her.

The character, by the way, hosted a show in which she gave relationship advice.

 
Nogale 2008-10-11 06:57:18 PM  
Damn - why don't the links I post on Fark ever work? What am I doing wrong?

 
Farker1138 2008-10-11 06:58:39 PM  
I loved the initial look on her face of "what the heck is that idiot doing now?"

The anchorwoman, my friend, was blowin' in the wind.

Public proposal = Douchebag

You're a Double Douchebag if it's at a sporting event (especially if you're the raving fan and she is not.)

That was pretty cool, they won't forget it during their entire 2 years of marriage. (ok, with that kind of courage, probably more than 2 years.)

The part where the players are stifling their laughter afterward is also priceless. Not to mention, getting your broken hearted self escorted off the court by a Big Grey Teddy Bear can't have been too humiliating, eh?
