The Coolest Rickroll Ever

[thespud]

At the risk of starting a debate on US politics, because you know how little a 20-something y.o. woman from Australia give a shit about US politics, this is the coolest.

Sadly, it was a rickroll I found by mistake on Youtube. But it is pretty cool. Would've taken a lot of soundbites...

well, it's this one since it's the only one I know. What's a rickroll? or is that just a way to say words strung together from other things to make a thing seem like it was that thing to start with.

Rickroll is where you click on innocent unassuming links like this really important link (please click here) and instead of clicking on your really interesting link, you get a video clip of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you Up" or a variation of said song.

Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a Web link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true source of the link without clicking (and thus satisfying their curiosity). When a person clicks on the link given and is led to the web page he/she is said to have been "Rickrolled". By extension, it can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive.[1]
