"It could be worse"

[inhumandecency]

Hypothesis: The degree of annoyance a person experiences upon being rickrolled* is inversely proportional to the length of time they were on the internet during the heyday of goatse.cx.

* For those not familiar with the phenomenon, there's a very thorough wikipedia article on it.

Hrmph!

There is indeed a nice wikipedia article on it, though. :)

I must not frequent the right pages - this is the first time it's happened to me, and I didn't get that xkcd comic until now. I missed out!

Sounds plausible. Goatse certainly taught me to look at URL's before following them.

Oh, you didn't. Wait, yes you did.

My sister rickrolled me a few weeks ago; I'd never heard of it before that. Zeitgeist much?

[inhumandecency]

just xkcd.

Oh my god, that was AMAZING. You totally rickrolled me.
