Have you been "rickrolled" yet?

I didn't read about this news here. But Wiki said it's all over the news in Britain and US. Read it here: Rickroll Very funny. All sorts of weird stuff with the internet.

Quote :
Rickrolling is a prank and Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". In a rickroll, a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes the user to the Astley video. It can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive. A person who falls for the prank is said to be "rickrolled". In some cases, this term is also used to describe a person who merely hears the song.

By May 2007, the practice had become widespread, and it eventually began to garner some coverage in the mainstream media. An April 2008 poll by SurveyUSA estimated that 18 million Americans have been rickrolled.

Unquote.

Watch to be "rickrolled"!
Never Gonna Give You Up
The video owner disabled the video embed link. But here is another video of the same song


I love Rick Astley since I was.. what? 10 years old? And I love him still. Every time I listen to his songs I would fall in love again and again and again. Such deep voice.. He's my first ever idol. His songs are my all time favourite. I think I will bring his CD into the coffin with me when I die. hahahahaha.....
