Moron shuts down Houston area interstate for marriage proposal [View all]

A moron caused traffic headaches on I-45 in Houston by proposing to his girlfriend on the highway;

Vidal Valladares Navas, 24, clearly drove his girlfriend wild by dropping to his knee and proposing on I-45 Sunday, as seen in a viral video of the stunt.

Motorists, however, were not so moved — Valladres’ big question stopped cars for about 35 seconds on one of the state’s busiest highways.

Valladres posted his proposal video on Instagram, writing in a now-deleted post: “When you shut down one of the biggest and busiest freeways in the entire country (I45) and you ask your girl if she wants to marry u, That moment is priceless.”

Turns out police weren’t so happy either, charging him with obstruction of highway. If convicted, the roadside romantic faces up to six months in jail.


What, you can't go to a nice restaurant and propose there?

The stupid has spread across the gulf from Florida over to Texas, it seems.
