<p>Okay, firstly, start the video at the :18 second mark. I want you to get a load of the guy who gets a kiss on the head from the adorable girl sitting next to him but can&#8217;t be bothered to take his eyes off the image of himself on the JumboTron.</p>
<p>Then, a few seconds later, we get the awkward marriage proposal. While I feel awful for the guy, I also can&#8217;t help but wonder what he was thinking proposing to her at a college basketball game in a 3/4ths empty arena.</p>
<p>Also &#8211; and maybe I&#8217;m alone in this &#8211; but this is just the sort of thing I absolutely wouldn&#8217;t do at a public event. It&#8217;s not even a matter of potential for public embarrassment or shame. I just feel like something that momentous should either be a private moment shared by the two of you, or something shared with only those very closest to you. Again, no fault towards those that think otherwise, but that&#8217;s my two cents.</p>
<p>And I won&#8217;t ever become a viral video after someone says no.</p>
