I Was RickRolled. Three Times in One Week.

Topics: Funny Stuff, Music Stuff

If you don’t know what Rickrolling is, then you’ve also probably never heard of this new fangled thing the kids are always on called the Internets. “Rickrolling” is when someone intentionally provides the wrong link to someone, but instead of what the someone is looking for, the link takes them to a music video by ’80s artist Rick Astley for his song “Never Gonna Give You Up” on YouTube. In this week alone, I’ve been “rickrolled” three times, each time while searching for my daily sustenance. You know, links about kids in Africa, and how I can better help them. (Because, you know, I care. And junk.) In any case, the “phenomenon” has gotten so bad that YouTube has now disabled all embedding ability for the Rick Astley videos hosted on their site, but you can still see it from DailyMotion, who no one has, apparently linked to via “rickrolling”.
