So according to Wikipedia at least 18 million American Adults have been what is commonly referred to as... "Rick Rolled" Why is it out of 18 million... I happen to know like that 5 who haven't and have no idea what it means... I've encountered at least 4 people this last month who had no idea that Rick Astley was an internet phenomena. I'm shocked ney disgusted at the lack of knowledge.
As an avid Rickroller (both loving to be rolled and do the rolling) I find it disgraceful that he not get the full LOLs he deserves... He should be right up there with funny cats, ninjas, and chuck norris.
In my attempt to spread rick astley goodness I will inform my readers who apparently live in caves what "Rickrolling" is. According to Wikipedia... RickRolling can be defined as....
a prank and involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up" . The meme is a classic bait and switch: a person provides a 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). By extension, 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 Other words... You believe your going to see something you would find cool only to realize you're staring at Rick Astley. And secretly love it. Rick Astley actually finds it rather funny which is even cooler...
I hope this has informed you greatly... .
If you still don't get it... This website has some great information about it.
