Watch below. Then tell me what the coolest thing is about it.
Is is that it is somehow cheesy and tear jerking at the exact same time? No.
Is it that he gets down on town knees instead of one knee? No. Although I am partial to that, because that’s how I proposed to my wife. But with me it wasn’t a choice. I just forgot it was only supposed to be one knee.
Give up? IT’S THAT IT ISN’T ABOUT INTERRACIAL LOVE!!! Can you believe it? It’s just about unique marriage proposals, cancer, and something called “keratin”. And it’s from Cleveland. Not truly liberal cities like Los Angeles or New York or San Francisco* or Portland.** Cleveland may vote democratic, but it ain’t exactly progressive. And Ohio is a swing state. I’m SUUUUUURE there are people in the Cleveland area who saw this story, spit out their tea (party) and were like, “HEEEELL NO!”
Now THIS is some Post-Racial America!
*There may not be enough black people with jobs in San Francisco to make this story possible.
** There certainly aren’t enough in Portland.
And I thought the beach at sunset was enough.

O’Jays were from Ohio, too. I think they grew up in the Canton area. Cleveland is actually REALLY progressive, though, so I wouldn’t make any assumptions that it represents the Midwest in a general sense. But for real, despite the geographic disparities caused mainly by the real estate industry (wrong side of the tracks mentality), CLE is WAY MORE socially integrated than Ohio in general. (Don’t even get me started on Cinci! Southern OH is basically *the South*.)
Thanks for the insider knowledge! I’ve played in Cincy (and Dayton), so I know of what you speak.
