SEATTLE (AP) -- Rand Fishkin wanted to propose to his girlfriend with a Super Bowl ad. That didn't quite work out, but there was still local TV, and he got the answer he wanted.
Fishkin, 27, got into the advertising gambit after a Tennessee man who started a Web site to try to raise $2.6 million to buy a Super Bowl ad learned last fall that his dream girl would turn him down.
Fishkin took over the Web site - mysuperproposal.com - which by then had dropped the fundraising plan in favor of luring a corporate sponsor, and things were looking good. A major company, which Fishkin declined to name, offered to feature the proposal in one of its ads, but then withdrew, he says.
