Risky Proposition

I've always wondered about those "in game"/high visibility marriage proposals. From today's Houston Chronicle in an article about the Astros game: The biggest excitement happened in the stands when a fan failed in his public attempt at popping the question. With the couple highlighted on the big screen, the mood soured after the man took a knee to offer an engagement ring. Wearing a brick-red replica Astros jersey, the woman appeared to angrily dump a bag of popcorn on the man before rushing up the stairs amid a chorus of boos. After the top of the sixth, the man left amid cheers from the sympathetic crowd. This is the stuff youtube.com was made for. Please. Please. Please. Hope that someone was rolling tape.
