I stumbled across this site, “My Super Proposal“, back in October… probably from a link from one of my many daily email newsletters, like Good Morning Silicon Valley.
It was a touching story, this guy, who called himself “JP”, wanted to propose to his girlfriend. JP thought it would be a wonderfully sweet idea to do it on national TV, using an ad aired during the Super Bowl.Â
I was touched by his story and he seemed like a nice enough guy, so I sent him some money ($5) towards his $2.5 million dollar goal. Not much, but I thought he might just make it to his goal with some buzz about his site, or at least if he didn’t the money would be donated to the local Children’s hospital.
Well, today I was reading Fox Sports News and saw this article! It looks like he was only able to raise $75,000, which isn’t bad, but certainly not enough for his commercial. However, an undisclosed company is paying for the commercial, so he will get to propose during the Super Bowl, and her response is going to be videotaped by a friend of theirs and posted online immediately to sites like YouTube.
Congratulations JP, whoever you are! I guess we’ll find out during the big game.
that will probably more interesting than the game itself!
