the rickrolled pheneomenon
the new (well, on the internet, time is relative, so new meaning this month) fad that i and most of us have fallen in love with is the practice of being “rickrolled.” rickrolled entails being tricked into clicking a video link of chart-topping singer rick astley when in fact you wanted something entirely different. example:
you: whats up dude
me: check out the new starcraft 2 trailer
you: fuck, rickrolled
the songs, however, are so catchy that you forget you’ve been rickrolled and just find yourself listening to them the whole way through. i’ve probably listened to “never gonna give you up” 700 times in the past day and a half. hasn’t gotten old yet.
being rickrolled is the coolest fucking thing in the universe. you go, rick astley.
