The Rickroll
In 2007, an internet phenomenon known as "Rickrolling" began to spread rapidly. Its origins are commonly attributed to 4chan[citation needed]. "Rickrolling" consists of tricking internet surfers into clicking on hyperlinks routed to Astley's video of "Never Gonna Give You Up".[2] Notable examples of this meme entering the mainstream are Carson Daly's attempt to Rickroll his audience [1] and a performance of the song in the Family Guy episode "Meet the Quagmires." One hyperlink frequently used is a classic MTV version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" posted on YouTube on November 27, 2006. As of July 21, 2007, the YouTube video had been viewed 1.7 million times.

Pretty damn stupid. I thought I'd share it with you though and see what you guys thought. Feel free to trick more people into watching/listening to one of the worst songs on record though. I found it notable that Carson Daly attempted to rickroll his audience.
