Oh, but you've learned not to ask for an explanation, right? You must have, because you come across as pretty sane. There have been times when I'll say, "Wait, what does that mean again?" and feel the cold wind of horror race across my heart as that last word leaves my mouth.

Somebody actually pointed out it might be first-born children who do this and the examples of men I have who do this are ALSO all first-borns.

I love your username. Muchly.

Is this all men?

I'm looking at how thin all of those men surrounding the happy, shouting couple and wondering if they at least got a meal out of this. It's like a poster for conspicuous consumption.

Here, at least buy these for the poor guy. http://www.amazon.com/Set-Mesh-Sink-…

The fire of indignant, misplaced self-righteousness that looks to ruin people's lives and unjustly ruin reputations is the abuse and violation that should be at the center of discussion, not the humorous, albeit possibly misguided, antics of a bunch of college kids.

So, THAT is who "bombed" Fortenberry! Was it the FBI's investigation that bore that out? LOVE that!!

I agree with you; it was just about making a grand gesture and focusing all eyes on herself. Seriously, over an 11-year relationship there were no good, romantic times when she could have proposed? It had to be done where a bunch of people had no choice but to be involved? Ugh.

I can think of some "swift and strong action" that would be appropriate. How fast does a bullet travel?

I am just going down clicking stars on every angry comment. This makes me stabby. Why are they allowed to do that?!

The worst part is, this keeps working, evidently. I wouldn't marry a guy who thought it was more important to make a "viral" video than to just ask me to marry him. <squick>

He has got to be a complete sociopath. This has to be about power. He doesn't need the acclaim, the fame or the money. He could just quietly vanish with his statute of limitations blessings and never be heard from again. But, no. He just keeps forcing himself into the public's consciousness and won't stop.

Good for Kate Moss! I can't imagine how they don't get attacked far more often.

I went out of my way to find toothpaste that doesn't have them. I make my own bar soap and laundry soap, so I thought I was in the clear. Until I noticed the damned things in the underside of a coffee cup when I was unloading the dishwasher. They're everywhere.

I found this on a site:

But I do stand by everything I said.

So, what happened? Did he show up? If not, what was his excuse?

Karma, bitch.
