Forget dating sites, meeting through the comments sections, and set-ups -- a woman in New York is hoping that the same medium that brought the Budweiser Frogs fame will land her a man. Amy Borowsky is attempting to raise $3 million via her Web site, SuperBowlSingleGirl.com, to buy a thirty-second ad spot during the Super Bowl, typically the most watched American broadcast event of the year. The product? Her hand in marriage.
We're tempted to say the ploy reeks of crazy. But since Amy's an ad exec and stand-up comic, we're guessing she knows the value of a prank ... not to mention a publicity stunt. She recently posed in a wedding veil in for a New York Post story about searching for Mr. Right where she gave her age as "somewhere between Carrie and Samantha."
Pssst! Amy! Maybe turning off all the fellas? The veil, the "Sex and the City" references, and the public panhandling in the midst of a global economic crisis. Just a thought.
Also on Lemondrop ... If Amy's meet-a-man ploy works, we look forward to a similarly subtle wedding. Perhaps she'll marry on a football field, like the couple below. Click through to see ten of the craziest theme weddings we could find.
