  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

NY Times Tech Blogger Makes Fake Movie Trailer to Propose

submitted by pumkinandstorm

1 decade 2 years 2 months 3 weeks ago

This is one of the sweetest proposals I've ever heard of.

(youtube) David Pogue says: On August 15, 2012, I proposed to the love of my life. I made a fake movie trailer -- a thinly veiled version of our love story. I persuaded the movie theater at a summer resort to play it before a movie we went to see. Both of our families were there to see it. I hid a video camera to capture her reaction (it was in a ficus plant next to the screen). Here's how it happened!

Thanks

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Lendl.

Fucking bit with the fucking singing to the kids and her fucking reaction seemed to happen about the time some piece of fucking dirt got in my fucking eye.

Fucking thing.

Also... what would have happened if she'd said no? The on-screen reaction would have been a bit odd
