- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+114not much...its veronica mars. most people watching that show were probably in that room.
- seobrains, on 10/12/2007, -3/+101Congrats!
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how
compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy - griz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+94"You want to get married?"
"Oh my god I think I am going to puke"...
Now there are 2 things you don't want to hear after a proposal. - MagnumVP, on 10/12/2007, -2/+96Now that was a legitimate reaction. She had no idea what was coming and relaly didn't know what to do. Those reactions are priceless.
- ATLBeer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+86SEO people can cry? I wasn't aware they were human :-)
- celestial, on 10/12/2007, -4/+68WHAAAT!
- hamadryad, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59That was so friggin' cute, I think my brain is going to explode.
- slrranma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+54i wonder how much that time slot cost him
- jcblitz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+55I hope my wife never sees this.
- bobbydiamondz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50So that was touching and all, but am I the only one who thought of Lil' Jon when she busted out with all those WHAT!s? I would have died laughing if she had said OKAY!.
- lotuseater, on 10/12/2007, -8/+57Poor sap's trapped now.
- ziki, on 10/12/2007, -11/+57What's Veronica Mars?
- sheepster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48what..what...whaaatt?
- dio33, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42He proposes using the TV, she can't even produce a comprehensible English word for twenty minutes... communication problems here we come!
- TNHitokiri, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37wow.. he shocked her into retardation for a sec there
:) - spartan789, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34Not only was this one of the nicest things I've seen in a while, it has to do with one of my favorite shows right now. I'll digg anything that has to do with Veronica Mars.
Too bad it wasn't shown on the East Coast. If it was, I would have been very thankful my g/f was asleep. haha. - abusive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29She was my girlfriend when I asked. Speaking in past tense, and all.
- abusive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32Obviously you never proposed! My girlfriend's reaction was the same.
- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Scratch that, the Seattle PI says it cost $3000 (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/302706_proposal07.html?source=rss)
- MaLaCoiD, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26WHAT?!??
- Sparkster185, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I was worried she was going to hyperventilate there for a minute.
- Thuktun, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29...aaand she hyperventilates and passes out. At least that's what I thought she was going to do for a moment.
- lifewithout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18As good of a way to propose as this is, it would be an even better way to dump your girlfriend. "This is my girlfriend Geraldine. She watches television all day. Geraldine, get off your ass and start looking for another man."
- JeremyL, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Very nice. I thought she was going to have a heart attack.
Congratulations. - MysticSavage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Thank God they didn't secretly replace her coffee with Folger's Crystals.
- jrob48, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I heard on the radio this was originally supposed to air during the super bowl but he got the shaft even after he paid for it.
- Juncti, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16How long till this is spliced with footage from Pulp Fiction? "Say what one more time!"
- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Workmonkey, you're full of crap. I work for Rand, and he met with the sponsor, filmed a TV spot with them, and waited to hear if they'd sign a contract, and then the sponsor pulled out days before the Super Bowl, leaving my boss to scramble to find a sponsor to take their place. There was no other sponsor in the running who we were hoping would bid more. We stopped looking once we found one and assumed that, since they went through the trouble to film a spot, send a rep to Seattle to meet with us, and exchange several phone calls, they wouldn't pull out at the last frickin' second.
Sorry dude, but what you're saying isn't true. Rand had several sponsors who were interested and went with the one who took the initiative to fly him out and film the spot, but then that sponsor screwed him over. There was no backstabbing. - zadadka, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Girl needs a doob to calm down.......
- growlzor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16I don't care what anyone says that guy is badass. Well done.
- sikosmurf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Here is the official website of his to follow his full story. http://mysuperproposal.com/
- Dudibob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Yeah, Congrats to Rand :) he's a real romantic
- artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12@Seobrains This can apply to life too, like Rocky Balboa said: "what matters is not how hard you can punch but how you take the punches"
- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10My Super Divorce could air on Fox...
- ameba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I bet your girlfriend is glad she has you.
- eggo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8boo. *****. hoo. It's his money, he can waste it if he wants to. If you're so concerned about it, what are YOU doing to help said kids?
- bradbury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6if you'd spent 30 seconds on his site, you'd realize that all the donations he took went to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital:
http://mysuperproposal.com/?page_id=34 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Well I work for Geraldine and both of you are full of crap!
- ebolaworld, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I thought she was going to die!
Does he still want to marry her after that response? - squishee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9I was told it cost $1500.
- SPIZER, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That was cool. I hope they have a wonderful life together!
- gmuessig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4What rot! You have no idea what you're talking about. He has not profited from this one whit. And "squishee" is correct. She does work for Rand and she has the straight dope.
For those who have a good heart and are not too jaded to enjoy this boisterous celebration of love, head over to www.mysuperproposal.com and make a small donation to Children's Hospital. Help make a wonderful wedding gift, by donating "In the Name of Love". Note that the link goes DIRECTLY to Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. That means no overhead, no 'cut' off the top, and your whole donation goes directly to save, support, and promote the health and wellbeing of the children.
THAT'S what this is about - about celebrating the love we hold for each other as couples, our commitment to families and our hopes for the future: the children of our love. - bwilstyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Now comes the talk-show runs. I'll bet the Today Show has them first.
I just wonder about the taping of her reaction. It appears that a person was controlling the camera. That is a bit odd, but otherwise, he scored some points. The fact that the commercial cost less than the ring is pretty cool.
If they divorce, maybe he'll do a sequel!
Hmm... a good idea for a proposal would be to have it show up on the digital board in the Wendy's drive thru. Maybe that would even cost less. - EssPii, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7"Whaaaaaaaat?"
Hehe, Congrats! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"The proposal also ended a monthslong mystery about the identity of JP. And the truth is that Rand Fishkin, 27, CEO and co-founder of seomoz.org, a local search engine optimization company, is JP No. 2.
They originally raised $10,000 for a super bowl ad, but the sponsor backed out at the last minute, so they spent $3000 for a local ad and donated the rest to charity - Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3She should be careful about hyperventilating.
- digganoid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5That was very sweet :)
- gmuessig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2$1500 for the spot and $1500 for the creative (photo shoot)
- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Putting a commercial on through your local cable provider is pretty reasonable.
