Clever ad.

Heh, nice ad.

Yeah, good ad.

Very good ad.

"it looks kindly strange, until you look at it really good."

Man am I glad I don't live in Tennessee any more.

Huh. There's billboards like that in Philly, which have been there for quite a while.

Jewelry Ads have so many good opportunities and they just never go there. Glad to see someone trying.

See what happens if we don't ban gay marriage? People can't remember which finger does what.

She's tired of waiting...

How's this for a billboard;

"You are always giving her a pearl necklace. This year, give her one she can actually show to her mom."

"Diamonds, leave her speechless. Diamonds, take her breath away. Why don't they just say what they mean? 'Diamonds. That'll shut her up."

AirForceVet: See what happens if we don't ban gay marriage? People can't remember which finger does what.

I'm sure one of them fingers will end up in the stink and/or pink.

Ah, feeding the national princess complex of the american female. Love it.

that would be perfect to "donkey punch" her with.

We should take up a collection for a billboard with a close-up of a brown eye and the tag line "He's Tired of Waiting"

Without hearing the video or reading the article, my impression of the photo was that it was very clever. That was when I imagined it was an ad to encourage girls and teens to abstain from sexual activity until after marriage. It was a disappointment to find it was merely an ad to sell jewelry. It's still clever though. Hmm... maybe it will serve both purposes in the end. :-)

If a woman tries to pressure you into marrying her quickly, run. Run far away.

If a woman demands a large diamond, GTFO right now, and never look back.

There's one of those here in Co, too. Sonny's Rocks. Not sure what the tagline is and I can't find a picture, but it's a woman giving the ring finger.

Found it after all:

Cool ad ... but I don't have a lot of regard for those who's main goal in life is to get married. Like my sister ...

"whose" ...

That ad has been up for at least a few years here in the Philly area.

That'll teach me to read a thread before I post.

/nah, not really

Remember guys, no hymen - no diamond.

Wow, that whole "giving somebody the ring-finger" was the funniest crap ever... back in grade 5.

Oh, and on the subject: apparently, if you give an engagement ring on Christmas or Valentine's day, then it's a gift. But if you give it any other day, it's a promise to wed - if she breaks off the engagement, you might have legal standing to get it back. Can't remember where this applies though.

The more you know...

Hitting the egg-nog early eh?

Hmm I really can't replicate that pose without feeling like I'm going to tear a finger muscle...

It's the Lance Armstrong version...

THIS.

Apparently, when I called my best friend to tell him I was engaged, his girlfriend was in the room and overheard. Apparently she burst into tears and whined about how every girl she knew was getting married except her.

Unsurprisingly, she is a big ball of crazy.

Most women can't tell the difference between CZ and a diamond. They like to think they can, but they have no idea.

Apparently this is what happens when you make her wait too long.

But then you're in for a world of hurt when they try to get an appraisal for the insurance company. Best laid plans...

Are you trying to promote pegging? See, that ad as you proposed is very ambiguous.

It also means get used to cheap shortcuts if you really want him to marry you.

Possibly the last funny thing SNL ever had for a scetch.

If anyone is asking me to marry them that quickly, I'm running the other way.

Ever since my separation, I have always been upfront about remarrying/kids to any woman I have any interest in having a relationship with. So far, it has worked out nicely. My current GF has no plans of getting married anytime soon, and doesn't want any more kids. I'm not going through all that shiat again. Besides, marriage is overrated anyway.

Solty Dog: Most women can't tell the difference between CZ and a diamond. They like to think they can, but they have no idea.

If you feel the need to pull off that kind of deception to get her to marry you, then something is terribly, terribly wrong.

Not that there's anything wrong with going with a cheaper or unconventional engagement ring, or doing without rings altogether, so long as both of you know what's going on.

We have one of these billboards outside of my office, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/getting engaged at Christmastime is so cliche anyway

I don't think buying the ring was his idea in the first place.

They're confused because you're supposed to use your right hand when you tell people how many teeth you have.

Heh, I always figure if what guys want is to use the orifice normally reserved for waste removal, they really should just save time and turn gay. I hear gays love it shoved in there. Some women do too, but please don't act as though there is something wrong with them if they don't.

Yeah, here's your ring.
