Fake marriage proposal lights up Taipei skyline

FOR THE PAST COUPLE of nights, residents of Taipei, both permanent and temporary (techie) varieties, have been craning their heads skywards trying to work out the meaning of the missive that appeared on the city's massive tower, Taipei 101.

Some, having discerned the message "Marry me Diana" may have cooed with the romance of it all.

They'll be disappointed, however.

For it seems it's a just stunt to drum up a bit of business for the oversized phallic symbol, which is possibly the tallest building in the world.

You too can propose to the love of your life across the smoggy skies of Ole Taipei, should you have $10 million Taiwanese knocking about in loose change.

You'll probably have to ensure that your fancy has a name not more than five letters long, however.
