failure at life

I stumbled upon this story on Yahoo news, and thought it was worth commenting on. This guy put a $12,000 engagement ring in a balloon, so he could "pop" the question, and walked outside and let it blow away. First of all, why did it need to be helium filled? Second, a balloon with a $12,000 ring in it should be tied to your wrist or something. Third, this is really funny.
