Does THAT answer your question? Marriage proposal ends in disaster
The Daily Mail Online ^ | Daniel Miller

If you're seriously considering proposing to your loved one in public, you might just want to watch this video first.

A hapless romeo gets down on one knee to ask his girlfriend to marry him, but she clumps him around the head with a busker's ukulele.

The cringeworthy video, shot in a shopping mall in Dubai, shows the man, described as an 'Indian teen', and the girl walk up to a group of buskers.

As the musicians begin a to play he takes a microphone and launches into a gooey speech saying: 'I have a very special message for a very special girl. This is where we met three months ago.

'You are my charm, you are my sweety pie ...

As a crowd gathers things start going badly for the man when a toy town-style mall train drives past, breaking the mood and the embarrassed girl mutters 'Oh my god everyone's watching.'

Undaunted the man continues: 'I have a little poem for you and I want everyone to hear this.

'When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while. And my heart ceases to beat and there is nothing else I seek except you.'

As he gets down on one knee the girl begs him to stop but he continues: 'And I Just have one question for you. You truly make me that happiest person on earth.'

But the girl simply cannot take anymore and she snatches the miniature guitar out of the hands of one of the buskers and whacks her suitor round the head with it sending him to the floor in a crumpled heap.

She then throws the instrument onto the ground and and storms off...........

Usually they have to pay for their stories, but in this case I wonder how much Cadbury paid the Daily Mail to post this “story” the way they did.

What’s interesting about much of that site is you can be reading a story and then pops up an advertisement for the shoes, or dress, or pants that somebody pictured in the story is wearing and you think wth.

It appears that they write some stories for the purpose of selling products shown in accompanying pictures.

In this case it was done very discretely allowing them provisional deniability.

I don’t approve of the public productions that are taking the place of proposals. A gentleman should not put a lady on the spot like that; he should show her some respect and give her the elbow room to consider her answer without that outside pressure.
