I think this guy is a bit effete.

The kind of marriage proposal he really wanted to do is only legal in a few states.

Stupid. Men, just fess up the bootie on a regular basis and you won't need to jump through the idiot hoop to get the girl to marry you.

I'm surprised she's not ready to kill him.

On the plus side, she gets to marry the entire cast of High School Musical.

WTF? Fark is greenlighting Disney ads now?

Advanced choreography proposal... GO!

This is obviously staged. Viral ad denied.

I really appreciated the mini popup ad in the vid...I don't think a dozen times was enough!

I got through half of it. What a douche.

Is this what they mean by ghey marriage?

But what will this all mean in a couple of years when she catches him in bed with the guy who played the janitor?

my best friend proposed to his girlfriend right before the takeoff on Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point last week. I think that was much better.

am i the only one who really liked it?

Another thing, this is probably the worst marriage proposal I've ever seen. There was no romance it was just an opportunity for him to dance around. If he had to sing then at least make the song about your relationship, not just a bunch of lame disney references. Probably a viral ad, but if it wasn't than I'm surprised she didn't say no.

I'd give these two farktards a year before she starts banging the pool boy; but they are obviously Disney actors.

Did anyone else notice how gay the guy was?

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

filter-blocked - what is it?

please dont tell me its that Jonas brother dude's wedding proposal - farking radio wont stop yapping about it

The only thing worse than a marriage proposal is a fake staged marriage proposal.

Divorced in 6 months when she catches him in bed with her gay brother. He's a gay man, baby.

That marriage will last about a year...when the guy runs off with his boyfriend.

Gayest. Proposal. Ever.

This can't be real. That guy is about as flaming as a Tibetan monk.

On a side note, a cheesy marriage proposal does not guarantee a happy marriage. One of my buddies rented a white horse, armor, and all that bit to ride up to his girlfriend to propose. Two years later... they divorced.

Wow it appears I'm finally happy my browser is fubar'd, and everytime I only got to see some craptastic Bruno ad.

i never understood the whole public proposal thing.

..looking for the shark with 'That Sucked' instead of 'I'm a shark..'

Nor I. Seems horribly undignified. Meh.

Yeah...I would be pissed if my guy did this!

Big Cheese Make Hair Go Boom: I really appreciated the mini popup ad in the vid...I don't think a dozen times was enough!

Having an ad pop up in the farking video even once is annoying, but 6 times during the 1 1/2 minutes I managed to stomach? That was what made me stop watching it, moreso than the video actually sucking so horribly.

Fark Disney.

I would have liked to see an airstrike in the middle of that. Napalm would have been good.

Has anyone mentioned that the guy is obviously gay?

Girl is way too hot to be with that guy even if he was into chicks. Totally fake.

Badly done Fark.

I would not be a married man right now if I had tried something like that. Marriage proposals are supposed to be something special between two people, not the two people and half of the Disneyland tourists.

My second reaction was "Goddamn Mickey Mouse employees staging a proposal to get people to buy the special engagement package."

I doubt that was real. He had too much damn TALENT!

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: ...and PIZAZZ!

Hmmm... I expect my beau and I will get engaged sometime in the next couple of years, but he's an INTJ, and as an Introvert, a proposal of this sort would be his absolute *worst nightmare EVAR*, and I would never wish that on him.

A quiet, private moment in a beautiful place, with a sincere spoken expression of profound affection and devotion would be just fine by me, though I'll admit I'm a sucker for *clever* and creative proposals (like the farm boy who took his girlfriend up in a crop duster to see "SARA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" carved into the cornfield below).

Lots of ideas here, fellas!
Marriage Proposal Ideas (pops - the question, that is!)

If I had proposed in a public place, my fiancee would have smacked me and told me to propose to her in private.

GHEY

looks totally fake. She's an actor, he's a broadway guy. Disney is pimping this, it's totally mic'ed too good.

I feel these kinds of proposals are like observing a quantum mechanical interaction: because you're observing the interaction, you've changed the outcome.

What woman, after all of that sappy tripe, in front of all of those people, would say "No"?

Guy must be a real big douche to go through all of that trouble to ensure she would say "Yes".

You have to remember that the majority of fark readers fit into one of the two following categories:

2) Older, lonely, and calloused because many years of being #1


That was an awesome setup and if it weren't totally staged aside from a the obvious scripting help from disney magic - those two will, in fact, live happily ever after.

I dunno, but if you defaced a 1st ed. autographed book by one of my favorite authors and tried to propose to me, romance might not be dead, but you would be.

/You do realize that, possibly aside from the autograph page itself, the book was rendered worthless by doing that, right?

If it is a legit proposal, I'm guessing they are Disney employees or some other performers. So maybe they normally go out on to Main Street and do an act and he changed it into a marriage proposal...
That's really the only way you can get past the freaking multiple cameras with is a hallmark of fake viral videos.

The production quality is too good as well, but again if these guys worked for Disney, it could have all been preplanned this way.

If they're all performers, that would explain the "lightness in the loafers" for the boyfriend, even heterosexual guys end up with the "broadway" mannerisms... watch Hugh Jackman in Oklahoma on PBS sometime.

But still... I'm not buying it all the way .... the girl's not freaking out enough. Most of the way through the video she's in roughly the same pose/emotion. And he reaction in her face is subdued... that either means fake or it means she knew about it. ( it could also mean she hated it or will say no privately ) but I'm going with fake.

Somewhere there is a Fark admin that deserves a very gay thrashing with a feather boa.

Another thing that douchebags do is that "surprise" first dance at the wedding that every wedding guest has come to expect.

also look at all the different camera angles. Are we really supposed to believe this is something a normal guy set up, with a little help from his Disney employee friends?

And on top of that, it sucked. I couldn't watch 20 seconds of it. Is there really anything after that about a staged, fake marriage proposal that is going to entertain me? Most musicals are stupid, and fake marriage proposal musicals have to be an example of Hell on earth.

You don't have to be "cynical, bitter" etc. to know that was a waste of whatever time it took to watch.

Yea, even if this wasn't completely fake, this thing would last all of a month.

1) He's gay
2) Only dating for a year and he proposes? Run away biatch, run far far away!

Lots of cameras, creative editing, token lady in the electric wheelchair, the fact that the guy was proposing to a girl, I call shenanigans.

Yeah this video was cool except for the pop-in ads on the video EVERY 15 SECONDS. I refused to continue watching after the 5th time I was asked if my PC keeps slowing down.

Is the ending good? The guy can't sing for dick, but his girlfriend is sexy. I'm just going to pretend she said no because I hate the ads so much.

Aww, I thought it was actually kind of sweet. Fake? Probably. Gay? Absolutely. But still adorable.

If it weren't a holiday, I'd be very bitter right now. But it's National Overdo It Day, so I guess this is okay.

My boyfriend asked me a while back how I wanted the proposal to happen (for future reference), I told him I didn't care as long as it's not public and it doesn't involve food.

I actually think mine was kind of cool. My then boyfriend worked for Coca Cola doing restaurant and special events setups. He was working some free concert at an outdoor venue and working alone. So, I went down to see him.

We climbed on top of the Coke truck (big farker) and I had sneaked him some beers, a little puff and a roast beef sandwich. He said "I don't think I'll ever know anyone as sweet as you. Can I be your husband?"

Naturally, I said yes.

And, dear Farkettes, please take note that when guys do stupid things like this, it has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with him. He's an attention whore and attention whores make horrible husbands. A man who really loves you and wants to spend his life with you would never risk publicly embarrassing you.

Sorry about that.

My buddy set up multiple cameras for his elaborate proposal. While it's fun to assume every single video on the internet is fake, I see no reason why this can't be real. It wouldn't be hard for Disney to do this for him; maybe he is an employee or at least has some connections, and they saw this as free publicity. That doesn't make it viral.

And on top of that, I liked it. I like my proposal much better, because it was more suited for us, but maybe she really likes Disney.

And I don't think he's gay... there are a few straight guys out there on broadway.

Dead serious, it will be at least 3 years before I propose to a girlfriend, at least 1 of those has to be while living together, even if we are perfect for each other.

It is less likely to change if you live with someone for 2 years before marriage. Its hard to hide who you are when you wake up to someone every day for two years and they see you at your worst and best.

Refer to my last post. Just because something happens to work out okay in the end by sheer luck doesn't mean that the analysis that went into it was solid. I could steal all my parents' retirement money and buy lottery tickets with it tomorrow. If I end up winning the $200 million jackpot with one of them, does that mean it was a solid decision?

Not that I would consider having 5 kids a good or responsible idea, or 2 grandkids by kids less than 26 years old particularly wonderful, but I guess it takes all kinds. I'm sure you wouldn't approve of some of my choices either.

I just proposed to my girlfriend last month (dated 2 years). I didn't have a ring, but I asked her anyway. She said yes. We tell people we're engaged and the first thing they ask is, "Where's the ring?"

Us: "We don't have one yet." (Note - we're going through a move right now so money is tight; once everything is straightened out we're going shoping for a ring together)

Them: "Then you're not engaged. Have some sense of tradition."

I don't think a ring equals engagement. A ring is a symbol, that's all. We'll get the ring, just not right now.

I know people that lived together for 10 years, then got married, then got divorced. 3 months, 3 years, 10 years; it doesn't matter. Everybody is different, everybody changes. Things will change after getting married no matter how long you have been together. Wait until you have kids.
Don't have kids unless you're mature enough to be able to commit to someone.

I think you should try it. But use a blindfold. Wouldn't want to risk the urge to cheat.

Keywork99: I just proposed to my girlfriend last month (dated 2 years). I didn't have a ring, but I asked her anyway. She said yes. We tell people we're engaged and the first thing they ask is, "Where's the ring?"

Us: "We don't have one yet." (Note - we're going through a move right now so money is tight; once everything is straightened out we're going shoping for a ring together)

Them: "Then you're not engaged. Have some sense of tradition."

I don't think a ring equals engagement. A ring is a symbol, that's all. We'll get the ring, just not right now.

Just remember to spend 6 months salary on it. And that's gross salary, not net.

She told me if I spend more than $500 on her ring then I'm an idiot. She's also not into diamonds (thank god); she'd rather have a pearl ring, which I'm sure can run me a pretty penny itself but at least I won't have to deal with all the diamond BS.

Yeah, would be seven kinds of awful for the girl if it was real.
If she said 'No, you are an attention-grabbing asshat and you ruined a romantic proposal by making it so public' she would get lynched by the now-enraptured Disneyland-going people. So no. Not cool.

I don't recommend living your life based on statistics. Especially not in matters of love.

My hubby proposed twice - once before we bought the ring and once when he had the ring and he wanted it to be "official".

First time was in the bar where we met. We were talking to a friend who was getting married in a couple of weeks and was having a serious case of cold feet. We started talking about how, if you have doubts now, you probably shouldn't get married and then in a roundabout way, he proposed.

Second time was after we bought the ring and he proposed over drinks at Windows on the World (restaurant that was on top of the World Trade Center.) This was in 2000 and was the last time I was there. :(

She's lying.

I got my real diamond ten years after the wedding, designed it myself. She says that now but wait until you have a real fight.

I don't recommend that people follow your recommendations. I'm 24 and even I have enough experience to know that making life changing decisions after a short period of time simply because you love somebody is a stupid idea.

I loved my first girlfriend years ago. I would have married her, and it would have been the worst decision of my life. I was young and stupid. Thank goodness she self-destructed and opened my eyes before I got a chance. I've also met enough young love disaster stories to at least approach it with some degree of caution. Making hasty decisions based solely on emotions is what animals do.

My first marriage proposal was all about romance because I thought she was my dream girl. Then we went to get a mortgage loan and I found out her credit was bad because she had defaulted on some old credit cards. We spent years living in the basement at her mom and dad's. I proposed to my second wife by exchanging FICA scores, and now we live in the suburbs with a dog and a yard.

I don't blame you. When a 24 year old is giving more solid life advice than you are, you know it's time to duck out.

That was nauseating. I can think of a thousand proposal methods that would be more romantic than that and I'm actually a Disney/Pixar fan. A quiet balcony proposal in a suite in Cinderella's castle would have been far less cheesy.

Big Cheese Make Hair Go Boom: I really appreciated the mini popup ad in the vid...I don't think a dozen times was enough!

Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: I don't blame you. When a 24 year old is giving more solid life advice than you are, you know it's time to duck out.

No, when a 24 year old thinks that they should go around telling everyone how to live their lives based on statistics of likelihood of success, that is when it is time to realize you are dealing with a raw novice. But you go ahead and run the numbers on whether it is worth your time to continue trying to convince other people to follow your advice, and have at it.

Personally, I find it more sad for someone to live their life by a script that dictates how long they should do something based on other peoples successes than another who jumps into something too fast.

Guys, don't EVER propose in a romantic fashion. You'll be setting expectations that will come back to bite you HARD in the ass.

Listen, I have been through bad relationships too. I have made the same rules; I wasn't going to get married until I was 35, We would have to live together for a year. All that bs. When you fall in love, the rules go out the window. Make sure she is not a criminal or insane. See how she treats kids and animals. See how she treats waiters. Meet her family and friends. Even check her credit score if that is important to you. Use common sense but don't be too cautious. Don't bring your baggage to the next one, she is not the first one. Good luck.

Blatant false dichotomy. You are equating a weighing of relevant facts with blindly running numbers or following a script. Only a fool would advocate letting emotions rule one's life and not paying any attention to relevant statistics, especially in such an important decision. This isn't even to mention the soft factors or opportunity costs by getting married after a short period of time. Maybe by getting married to Veronica after 3 months you'll be happy, but you would have been even happier with Betty who would have come along on the 4th month. Obviously one has to make the hard decisions eventually, but it makes so much more sense to wait a few years and see how things develop. The best marriages are essentially superfluous, you should tie the knot when it becomes obvious that you will always be together anyway. It's not something to be done on a lark just because you love someone, and you do not know someone after a few months.

WTF? with all the recession, having a stable income prompts women to propose to you. What's this guy up to?

Popup ads can be blocked with noscript (Firefox addon). So no matter what is the site you are going to, you dont need to cry out in pain when you see one because you wont.

I think its staged, probably the guy is a Broadway actor or a Disney employee. I think however that the proposal is real. Perhaps she dumps him a few minutes later but in the spirit of Disney lets hope they lived happily ever after.

Whats more interesting is that my girlfriend really liked it ( bummer ).

tetheredswimming: But yes it was a viral ad. They were all perfectly miked for sound.


Nope. You could only hear the girl when she spoke into the megaphone. But go ahead and be a jaded farker....you have amazing company here.

She probably ditched the guy after realizing he was gay.

I'm not saying there's no place for love, and I certainly don't advocate carrying baggage with you. I'm just saying that precisely because I know that emotions do fark with you and can lead to bad decisions, you have to have some way of grounding yourself in reality and really making sure. Waiting a reasonable amount of time (a few years) and living together first can do that for a person.

Keywork99: I don't think a ring equals engagement. A ring is a symbol, that's all. We'll get the ring, just not right now.

/We've been together nearly 25 years.

My husband proposed the same way. After seventeen days of dating.

/celebrating our eleventh anniversary in August

Uhh... I went this route as well. For all you 'doubters', it's lasted a FULL 47 days so far!!

I think we feel we are two of the most awkward, cheap and conservative people in our neck of the woods. Married on a beach... alone. no family, no long lost relatives, no best buds, no friends of friends. Our reasoning - less pressure, we are doing this for us, not them.

Dated for a half year, living together for seven and a half. Good credit for both of us, we both paid off student loans and credit cards. Now moving in to our first home in August.

After eight years, lemme say this... she's great, keeping me motivated and smiling. I can count the fights on one hand.

I'll also say marriage hasn't changed anything... except her changing all her identification. I highly suspect kids would bring a big social/commitment change that we don't think we want to deal with.

And if you tie the knot after two years, Betty may show up in three. Marriage is not a guarantee of anything, and no matter how long you wait, you will likely have problems. The amount of time you've known somebody does not directly correspond with your ability as a couple to work through those problems.

FTFY

To think, at 24, that you have any right to tell a couple of 26 years that you're right and they're wrong, is foolish. And to have the nerve to imply that their children made mistakes just shows the power of a nameless, faceless venue of conversation.

I'd love to see you walk up to Elephantman in person and tell him that his family is too big and his children had babies too young. I'd also love to see his five children beat the everloving crap out of you and teach you some manners and respect for other people.

So go ahead, drive down the highway with your eyes closed.

Saw a story on this. IIRC They both work at the Park (she's administration or something, he's cast), and that's how he was able to swing it.

Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: Only a fool would advocate letting emotions rule one's life and not paying any attention to relevant statistics, especially in such an important decision.

Fact is, and I don't know how I can explain this any better to you, the statistics of marriage length mean jack-all when one is considering proposing. OK, look at the numbers of how long marriages last when someone dates their S.O. for 2+ years before getting married. Now, it is ____ % more likely that their marriage will last 30+ years. OK, fantastic. Does that mean if everyone dates for two or more years, there will be a drop in divorces? Who the hell knows? You apparently think you know the answer, but you don't. Nobody does. That's my point. I know as much as you do asking my gf of one year to marry me as you do asking yours to marry you after cohabiting for ten. So for you to rely on numbers to tell you something ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WILL... is preposterous.

The thing that irritates me the most about this thread is that because the guy can sing, everyone on Fark.com™ assumes he must be gay.

be careful, hand lotions and other things can RUIN pearls like nobody's business! I'd go with some kind of precious stone for her hand and maybe a single pearl necklace as an anniversary present? The reason people started wearing diamonds was because they are hard and therefore harder to break (...a diamond is forever) but i bet you could find another kind of stone that isn't covered in blood or about to implode if you leave it on to do the dishes.

THIS

If you, the most mature 24-year old in the history of mankind, can not muster up any emotions to the point that you make a huge decision that you might/might not regret, no one will care. And no one will care if you do end up marrying someone after knowing her for 12 hours or 12 years. But telling someone else who has acted on those emotions (and actually had a marriage last longer than you have been alive) is wrong because it's not up to your standard? That's the sign of someone whose daddy didn't whoop his ass enough.

Wow. A lot of bitter, judgemental, and unromantic Farkers here today. Dated for 4 months, engaged for 6 and have been married for 4 years. He was 40 and waiting for someone like me, he says (no, I know for a FACT that he is not gay). I had already had a 10 year marriage and have 2 teens, so the kid thing is out of the way. Oh, and the proposal? He came over for dinner one night and handed me a bag from the store to prepare. As I was putting it away, there was a plain box at the bottom. I handed it back and told him it didn't seem like a fridge thing and turned my back. When I turned around, he was on one knee. First words out of my mouth were "But I'm wearing sweats!" No, I'm not fat. Kids were there and approved, so I said yes. There is no particular formula for something so personal. It might help that I like to make sammiches for him and leave the house when he hosts poker night.

Well then why did you need to point it out so defensively when no one accused you? Go ahead and deny it if it makes you feel better, just know you're not fooling anyone. Maybe you should think about finally living the way you want, and not carrying on this charade; it does nothing but hurt yourself and others in your life.

This is simply not true statistically. Outliers do not negate a trend.

I don't recommend living your life based on statistics. Especially not in matters of love.

Nope. You could only hear the girl when she spoke into the megaphone. But go ahead and be a jaded farker....you have amazing company here.

=-D

I don't know about the viral ad, but he was miked. When he spoke into the megaphone his voice was the same (indicating mic between him and megaphone. Being in a crowd that size and not hearing more background noise, the multiple camera angles including some from the rooftops (where paying customers are not allowed access to), the choreography I could go on. This was staged. That being said. Nice job. If I was sitting around waiting for the parade it would've been a nice distraction. Not that i'm buying that it was real, but I give it a thumbs up.

To think, at 24, that you have any right to tell a couple of 26 years that you're right and they're wrong, is foolish. And to have the nerve to imply that their children made mistakes just shows the power of a nameless, faceless venue of conversation.

I'd love to see you walk up to Elephantman in person and tell him that his family is too big and his children had babies too young. I'd also love to see his five children beat the everloving crap out of you and teach you some manners and respect for other people.

So go ahead, drive down the highway with your eyes closed.

My, you have some violent fantasies. I'm sorry my counterpoints to your quaint little worldview enrage you to such an emotional extreme. I guess if at this point I responded that I really don't care what you or he thinks, and that I'm not the least bit afraid of you, him, or his children that would make me some sort of ITG, huh? Guess there's no real good way to respond to somebody telling you they hope you die for your simple point of view. I hope you get over your anger problems and insecurities, I'm doing just fine, thanks.

I don't know why everyone is being so down on this guy! It was a sweet and meaningful thing to do! It is the spot where they met a year ago and what better way to honor their relationship then with a song and dance number in Disney World. Why is he such a loser for showing a crowd of people he loves his girlfriend? They are getting engaged for fark sakes! It was funny and sweet and took a lot of hard work. The only difference between this guy's proposal and a "normal" proposal is that this one took more time and effort and creativity. His girlfriend is a lucky woman.

No one who shows up at Disney to propose surprisingly is mic'ed and has multiple professional quality cameras centered on him.

Fake, but very cool because it is happens spontaneously.

Disney might have taken this idea from the stage group who did the in-airport play.

No one who shows up at Disney to propose surprisingly is mic'ed and has multiple professional quality cameras centered on him.


I'm sure this man talked to management in advance and had this planned. Of course it would seem fake if you thought that guy just came there to propose and all the rest of the actors and singers just happened to join in.. And for the professional cameras.. it I spent that much time planning for a cool proposal, I would damn well want a professional to record my hard work!

In other-words, it. is. fake. Besides, you can tell by the lisp and the limp wrist that he's a "man's man"

Tell me why I should look down on this guy because he can sing and dance? He is trying to do something nice to remind people of the magic of love, and that makes him gay? Trying to put smiles on the faces of people in Disney World is gay.. What a sad country when it is gay to smile in Disney World.

Well then why did you need to point it out so defensively when no one accused you? Go ahead and deny it if it makes you feel better, just know you're not fooling anyone. Maybe you should think about finally living the way you want, and not carrying on this charade; it does nothing but hurt yourself and others in your life.

It's always the ones most adamant about denying it who, deep down, really are actors.

Dammit, dammit, dammit! I KNEW my magic show past would come back to haunt me. But there's never been any other time. Really. Except for a couple of Christmas plays.

\I gotta be me.

You sound gay.



DJanomaly: The thing that irritates me the most about this thread is that because the guy can sing, everyone on Fark.com™ assumes he must be gay.

Jesus Christ, Fark....Grow the crap up!


Maybe because I live in LA I see entertainers all the time, but for five of the first ten posts to call the guy gay is such a sad reflection of America.

Way overdoing it. I just kept the ring in my pocket, brought it out after we got off the boat (Storybookland Canal Boats) and popped the question. Nothing fancy, just asked, she said yes. A few people around.

When we got married, we just spent the day there, we went back to the room to change. Me first, bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony, etc. I got to the drawbridge area, waited a bit, she arrived, we got married. Some family and friends there, about twenty total. Plus the judge we got. Nobody from the park was involved or anything.
A quick jungle cruise, a wedding night, and a honeymoon in DisneyWORLD a week later.

I proposed on the Fourth of July, 2004. Convinced her to sneak up on the roof our apartment building to watch a big fireworks display. I stashed some roses and a bottle of champagne up there. She seemed to like it.

I also only got through half of this. My thought throughout: What a farking bastard to put her under that much pressure? What if she had wanted to say no?

I swear I will walk out on and never again speak to any guy (or girl) who attempts to do this to me.

Well after watching that I'm surprised it was a heterosexual couple.

I guess a diamond in the poopie diaper would have been over the top?

This is a sweet thought- he clearly put a ton of effort into it- but it's definitely not my thing. I hate musicals, and all the random bursting-into-song that goes along with them. And this guy was clearly getting off on all the attention, thinking he had come up with the most clever, sweet and irresistible proposal ever- when in fact it was just way over the top.

I also think proposals should occur in private, so that the askee doesn't feel so pressured to say yes to avoid humiliating the asker.

At least the whole thing was painfully long, which gave the girl a chance to figure out what was coming, and hopefully to think very hard about whether she really wants to marry I guy who would do this.

Funny, my boyfriend popped the question at Disney World exactly three weeks before this "engagement." As mentioned on this thread before, the musical song and dance verson would be horrible for shy folk or just folk who don't like crying in public.
(For me, he had the ring hidden in a rose at dinner. It was a very quiet thing, and that was perfect.)

That proposal was so gay, I'm surprised he didn't spit on her finger before sliding it into the ring.

It would be more convincing if it was a dude he was proposing to. The "jazz hands" were a dead giveaway!

My buddy's girlfriend of six years, both of them divorcees already, loved the Titanic movie and everything about the original ship. When the Titanic Museum tour came to town, he contacted them in advance, set it up so that his friend put the engagement ring on the cherub statue at the bottom of the famous staircase.

An actor in the exhibit came over to her with a written note telling her to examine the statue, and as she found the ring he proposed.

Sumbiatch ruined it for all of us, because THAT was a cool proposal. The video above? The Nicolas Cage mini trailer looked more interesting.

Being an attention whore like the guy in the video is just a sign of things to come, dearie.

Then again, she may REALLY like musicals.

Die.

Maybe because I live in LA I see entertainers all the time, but for five of the first ten posts to call the guy gay is such a sad reflection of America.


It is not a 'sad reflection' of anything. It is an accurate observation. The dude is gay. More power to him. May he enjoy the longest and hardest of cocks in his future years. If you think the only indication that he is gay is the fact that he can sing then you need to take your gaydar to the shop for a tune-up because goddamn, son.

Boy, that randomly forming crowd sure is keeping their distance...



almost like they expect a BIG DANCE NUMBER!
