blame it on the free drinks, but were they!

This should be another item to be added to the airplane passengers' bill of rights.

Facebook culture ?

by Hafez for Beginners on Sun Oct 30, 2011 08:35 PM PDT

As sappy and romantic as I am - I found this to be a reflection of our "Facebook" culture - where every sneeze needs to be reported and get group approval,  and several thumbs up! Where everyone thinks they're a star and needs an audience for validation.

To me, a proposal is a very private moment, not for show - certainly not for "show"  with stranded strangers who haven't even had any choice or say in whether they want to be sharing the moment, or not. Oh well... they do say love is blind - so I'll put it down to that! And Facebook.

Still, I wish them a happy life.

And the in-flight engagement party meal was...

A bag of peanuts.

Le fromage extra ordinaire!

What a selfish way of conducting a cheesy ritual! What if every passenger is not interested in being caught in a situation like this?!

This video was loaded on you-tube 4 days ago, it has over 160,000 hits already. Here are the top comments on you-tube:

1) flight back would have been awkward if she said no.    2) man, they let you do anything in first class...

Best wishes to them....

But I often wonder what compels these people to announce it to the world?Is that a way to put pressure on her to say YES? 

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

P.S. To the world... guess what I eat lunch today!!!

aakh...is this another dopey wedding / engagement video?

by Anonymous Observer on Fri Oct 28, 2011 08:25 AM PDT

Not watching it.  Who are these saps anyway, and why are they featured on IC?

There's about a 50% chance they will divorce anyway...that is IF they even get to the point of marriage--upon which time, I am sure their wedding video will be featured here as well.  

//www.divorcerate.org/

I actually think that in the event that this, or any other previous couple whose video has been featured on IC, get divorced, JJ should post their divorce video as well, kind of superimposed on their wediing video.  Just imagine how funny it would be--with their lawyers fighting in court over child support and alimony. :-))

Loss of Oxygen at 40,000 ft!

Men are known to lose consciousness at high altitude and do crazy stuff!

But the plane will eventually land at some point and he will have to deal with the promises that he has made. And so goes life!
