Ethics For the Love of God, Erika… DO NOT MARRY THIS MAN!!

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 1:43 PM

Though billed as "The Best Marriage Proposal in World History," trust me when I say IT IS NOT. In fact, you will be hard pressed to EVER see a more anus-cringing display of horrible, affected narcissism than on display in this video. I don't want to ruin the jaw-dropping fun, but let's just say it involves Disneyland, musical theater… and I'm sorry… a poor, unsuspecting girl named Erika who apparently has no idea that she will be condemned to a miserable. frustrated life of being this guy's beard.

Again… WOW.

Should I thank you, Videogum? I'm really not sure.

This man is a homosexual. Why is this happening?

I like the transition from "Oh God, one of those public marriage proposals, let's just get through this" to "this is going on a little longer than expected" to "What the fuck, a lady is singing at me"

I'd tap Erika. Really, I like to think I could give her a better five minuets than that, but I'd trade it all for the satanic Micky Mouse rascal the fat woman was riding.

I didn't watch this all the way through but I think it's safe to assume she changed her mind...

Does anyone know how to get vomit out of a keyboard? Perhaps I should post to Questionland.

Do you suppose the Disney Overlords had anything to do with staging this spontaneous event purely as a publicity stunt in the hope that it would go viral and now you've done their bidding? The best actor in the bunch is dear Erika who had to fake being surprised.

This is pretty obviously staged for the crowd, people. So that they can go home and tell their friends they saw something happy at Disneyland, instead of the fat sweaty nightmare hellscape of manufactured plastic cheer. Both of those actors are way too good-looking and well-dressed to actually go to Disneyland on a semi-regular (annual?) basis.

Why do I have a feeling the 'dustpan' guy is going to be a constant fixture in their household?
"No honey. We're just rehearsing for a show!".

Definitely a pro job, probably attempted viral as mentioned above. First, there's like five different cameras filming this. Second, nothing like this would be allowed to go down on Main Street without Disneyland security / castmembers knowing about it and being involved.

Nothing more romantic than a woman destined for a sexless marriage with a gay man

Just reading this comment tells me someone didnt have a happy childhood. Do you think she would be better off having married a critic like you?
And these other comments. Why do you think he is gay. My father proposed to my mother the same way 50 years ago. They were happily married til the day they died. You poor pathetic people.

First of all, dschuster was initially read as Douche-ster. It's just really really close. That's all.

Secondly, totally faked. I know several people that have worked at Disneyland and NOTHING happens there without them knowing about it. Cameras EVERYWHERE. There is only one spot in the entire park that doesn't have a camera on it and all the staff knows about it. It's a tiny cave on the backside of Big Thunder Mountain and if you step into it, you'll know it's true, because there is almost always a used condom or four in there.

But more than the cameras, or the horrible acting, it's the mics. Each person is mic'd separately.

I hate the manipulation of the stupid.
