The Rick Roll

[forchancookie]

If you don't know what a Rick Roll is, you're obviously not getting around enough on the. Never fear though, The Guardian has written an article about it and it's adoption by anonymous in the fight against Scientology. It mentions its predecessor, the Duckroll, which I'll admit I've never heard of. Anyway, it's funny to read a newspaper article about a meme.

And as long as we're on the subject, someone had posted this link. It's a video of a college basketball game getting Rick Rolled. The cheerleaders dance and sing along and some guy dressed up like Rick Astley dances all around the gym. If you can stand a deliberate Rick Roll, it's funny.

You know...I've started to watch the video on purpose and sing along x_x Then I Rick Rolled Phish to try and pass it along, but it's still in my head! Arrgh! Never gonna...give you up! X_x

Anonymous wins lol. I wish I had been there to watch the live rick-rolling. Obviously the basically plan is to annoy the Scientologist out of existence. XD S'fine with me.

I love it. Totally. And now I can't get the gawddamned song out of my head. I almost wish it was Tuesday again so I could play it on my SL DJ set. Except that last night was my Purple Rain Tribute to Prince, so I couldn't have played it anyway. Oh, well. There's always next week!
