IPHONE PROPOSAL IS PRETTY DAMN CREATIVE

There are plenty of things you can do with an iphone and of you're Chad Clay, you can use it to get engaged.

"I used a lot of apps that I downloaded, like a drum app, a keyboard app," Clay said of his creative process.
But the real music was recorded in his home studio, and with the help of a little autotune and Photoshop, the idea was born.
It took the budding musician about four months to write the song and produce the video. He said the easiest part was getting the movie theater to play along. While most people ignore coming attractions, Clay told his girlfriend of six years that a mutual friend was being featured in one of the movie trailers.
Just before the film wa about to start, what looked like an ad for the iPhone popped up one the screen, helping Clay pop the question.
This was pretty creative she must be the ish for him to take all that time and effort to make that proposal video.

Affairs were once shadowy matters, illicit encounters whispered about and often difficult to prove. But in the age of Facebook and Twitter and lightning-fast communication, the notion of privacy is fast becoming obsolete. From flirtatious text messages to incriminating e-mails, marital indiscretions are much easier to track — especially if potentially damaging photographic evidence is posted online.
