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

ok so my pc is slowing down. and again. and again. and again. and again.

i think they were trying to sell me something.

Wild card trifecta"
GHEY
LAME
and FAKE

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".

Biness: am i the only one who really liked it?

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

1) Immature, cynical, and angry young know it all.
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.

You are missing the point....this is NOT REAL.

Oh, please can this be a proposal story thread? :)

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.

Thought this one was great, mind the stupid music, start about 1:20 in.

/Proposed by getting a first edition copy of her favorite book signed by the authors, glued the pages down and hollowed out the book, then placed the ring on a bed of velvet inside of the book, and given to her as a "late" birthday gift
//Who says romance is dead?

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.

/All at the place with the Worst Cheeseburgers on Earth.

1.gay

2.fake

3.lame

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.

assistant regional manager: Oh, please can this be a proposal story thread? :)

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.

DOES THIS MEAN FARKTV IS BACK!!???? OMG PLEASE SAY 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. Rather, he will make the moment of his proposal private and special, not a spectacle.

Some of you in this thread have been forwarding my retired Dad chain e-mails, haven't you?

Christian Bale: Disney is pimping this, it's totally mic'ed too good.

Check out her lower back as she walks into the crowd. You can repeatedly see the outline of her mic pack.

I might be cynical, but I'm nowhere near as cynical as Disney's advertising.

Why would a gay guy marry a chick in this day & age?

...And they lived happily ever after...until his unfortunate incident in the bus station rest room.

Everyone involved in that obviously fake and horrendously lame attempt at a "viral" video should have the electric light parade shoved up their ass.

/C'mon, the ghey, I mean "guy", sets up a multi-camera shoot on Main Street in Disneyland?

That's an awfully well edited "surprise."

So much THIS. I propsed at Epcot during the fireworks. The whole park was packed and crowded, I still managed to make it our own special moment without making a huge spectical.

I just bought the engagement package for my boyfriend and I. THANKS GAY DISNEY!

/kidding

Maybe not gay, just an actor/dancer/singer. It would have been cool if he wasn't an professional performer. That is like me proposing to my wife at my office.

Biness: am i the only one who really liked it?

Yes. Yes, you are.

Update: Since this ran, we've received information from a tipster informing us that the video is a fake: the actress who plays "Erika" has a different boyfriend In Real Life. Which means that this is, indeed, purely for PR, and the Lamest Scam Ever.

broadside You sir, owe me coffee, keyboard, etc.


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.

/Fark is starting to get really annoying with its giant mass of negativity and asshatery.

My girlfriend (now wife) would have given me a good audition tape for "Out my balls!" if I had tried to pull something like this. I proposed on the top of the Eiffel Tower under a full moon when there were no tourists in sight. Just two weeks before that copycat Tom Cruise did the same thing. Now I feel ghey.

That 2nd one is EPIC, love the PA guys playing "Love Stinks" after she walks off, and perfect unintentional foreshadowing by the commentators

Fake and utterly gay ad for Disney Land.

Also, getting married after 1 year = tarded

Klivian: 2) Only dating for a year and he proposes? Run away biatch, run far far away!

Are you farking kidding me?
