David Pogue Puts Every Other Marriage Proposal to Shame

David Pogue, tech reporter for The New York Times and host of NOVA’s Making Stuff (it’s quite good!), just went viral. How did he do it? Well, earlier this month he conspired with some actors and a film crew to make a fake movie trailer depicting his relationship with his girlfriend, Nicki Dugan. He arranged to have the trailer shown before a screening attended by the couple and their families, and he rehearsed with the actors to make sure that his real-life proposal synced up with the action on screen.
