Open Post: Hosted By The Failed McDonald’s Proposal

May 6, 2022 / Posted by:

A man in South Africa has gone viral after he proposed to his girlfriend in a McDonald’s and got brutally, publicly rejected. The clip, which ended up on Twitter, shows the dude on one knee, presenting the unnamed woman with a little box (presumably there’s an engagement ring inside, but maybe a McNugget?). The crowd at the McDonald’s cheers, but the woman is having none of it. She shakes her head and says no to her would-be-fiancé. Then she walks out as the crowd boos. After her exit, the failed proposer stands back up and slinks away with his meal.

Here’s the worst part: it’s a McDonald’s… in a mall. Who in their right mind would say yes to a proposal in a mall McDonald’s? And don’t say Grimace, cuz everybody knows he’s a desperate purple slut with zero standards.

Here’s footage of the incident:

The question is, is this a real failed proposal, or just a stunt to go viral? Some people on Twitter noticed that the man was already wearing a wedding band. To me, that suggests stuntery is afoot. But, also, Google says polygamy in South Africa is legal “under certain circumstances.” Is proposing in a mall Mickey-D’s one of those very special circumstances?
