The video of a guy, David, proposing to his girlfriend, Jessica, in the middle of a minor-league baseball stadium is going seriously viral.
Here's how it plays out: He proposes, she steps back in shock, the
goofy mascot gets the crowd cheering, and the announcer says, "She looks
excited." But, she is not excited. Jessica replies, "No."
Meanwhile the announcer who is facilitating the whole thing seems to
be having way too much fun. "I don't mean to laugh! The answer is no.
She said no. (He laughs.) I don't think we've ever had this happen
before!"
A dramatic exit by the couple running off the field leaves the crowd in disbelief. Or not?
Let's analyze this. Jessica's reaction looks genuine. But let's not
forget how convincing Julia Roberts was in "Runaway Bride." Jessica
could very well be a stage actress rehearsing for her big proposal dump
scene. Or is she just an innocent victim of the Internet? And should we
maybe stop analyzing the proposal?
Chris Chase of USA Today says he's "leaning toward fake"
when referring to the video. Witnesses and commenters online seem torn.
John Poutre commented on the YouTube video, "I was there, my first
thought was that it was fake. But what would the point of that be?"
In 2007, College Humor posted a fake marriage proposal that will make
you laugh out loud. It's a little different, more of a friend-on-friend
stunt in a prank war. Watch it here.
Whether or not the recent proposal video is fake or real, how much do you want to witness that car ride home?
