Imagine going through all the trouble of pulling this stunt off, just to find out that the only thing it really did for society is to give it a new meme template.
Their “stunt” was an ad for their netflix special. They are also sponsored by an energy drink comoany. They had the observation deck cleared and stuff.

But they probably had some really hot self-aggrandizing sex in jail afterwards to celebrate their engagement

Well, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble, don’t unveil the world’s most useless fucking sign. They deserve to be a meme.
It was made for a proposal
Yeah… a message of peace? Super lame.
Don’t they know promoting hatred and violence is what all the cool kids are into now?
And what impact do you think that had? Real impact. Nothing? Is that what you guessed? Because you’re right!
Right?!
They should post stupid stuff online for fun instead! That makes a real difference!
Well they started a meme. So I guess that’s something.
The vapidness of the original message is what makes the memes work.
Agreed
It was a pretty shit sign.
I do wonder what kind of sign would be ‘useful’, though.
Eat at Joe’s Free coffee between 9 and 11
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Almost anything.
[X] to doubt.
Not how that works.
What is the story behind this new meme format?

For anybody also having a hard time reading that partially folded flag, or finding the text within the 1000 words article, it’s this:
“When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace”
Agreed with the other comment, that’s the most useless sign ever.
Even more useless was celebrating their engagement that way. My wife and I just posted about it on Facebook and went out for burgers or something.
Just a couple of attention-whores doing attention-whore things.
The whole point of social media is to be an attention whore. You’re on social media right now.
Shh!
Yeah, but who doesn’t post to Facebook occasionally?
Me!
