In New York, is the proposal ever modest?

For Valentine's Day, the New York Times today takes a look at some of the city's crazy proposal stories - from the "veritable proposal factories" at The Rainbow Room, the River Cafe and Petrossian to homemade videos aired at The Museum of Sex, the Times says the proposals are getting more outlandish these days. For a hundred bucks, you can flash your proposal on the Yankee scoreboard ("Guys like to think it's the most original thing in the world,") or for $1,250 you can have a World War II-era fighter plane skywrite the magic words. And then there are the guys hiring fake TV crews, sneaking into darkened rooms at the American Museum of Natural History or proposing during the opera.
