A marriage proposal gone wrong

In an age when society is so morally obtuse and so deaf to the meaning of words as to speak regularly of such things as a “rape gone wrong” and an “armed robbery gone wrong” (meaning the rape or the robbery, by implication a good thing, turned into murder, not such a good thing), here is something that really did go wrong: a marriage proposal. However, the reason it went wrong was that the man was such a fool as to propose to his girlfriend in the middle of a basketball game at a huge sports stadium with thousands of people looking on. The notion of privacy doesn’t exist any more.
