worst prank ever. Guy puts up a fake marriage proposal at the Yankee stadium jumbotron.
Yeah, it's totally believable if you watch what led up to it. The prankster in this case is getting the prankee back for luring him to L.A. with promises of being on a TV show.
I get that someone would play such a prank- to me, it was all about the slap looking fake. Seriously, if I had been with someone for long enough where marriage was a reasonable option, and I wanted to get engaged, and they proposed but then took it back (which is what it looked like to her), I would not slap- I would fucking beat someone up. There would be bruises and blood. A slap is for a skeezy guy in a bar.
Yeah, that was totally fake. The way you can tell is how careful the two were to react "big." The only thing I dislike more than viral video is glaringly fake viral video...
I can't ever sit through videos on the internet--like I can never sit through videos of other people's weddings--so I didn't get past the intro. But I do have a question about the setup: is it *that* easy to just up and buy two tickets in the exact seats you want for a particular Yankee game? Cause I don't think you could do that at Wrigley.
