Like many unsuspecting web users, I got “rickrolled” this past April Fools’.
(I got this super-sweet Rick Astley icon for free from stockicons.com)
For those of you unfamiliar with this utterly ridiculous yet undeniably hilarious internet phenomenon, it goes something like this:
You’re surfing along, minding your own business, reading a comment somebody’s posted with a link that sounds interesting.
You click on the link expecting to go to, say, some sweet new pics from the soon-to-be-released Iron Man movie,…
but instead you’re taken to a video clip of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
And there you have it.
Rickrolled.
It happens to me more often than I care to admit. The silly thing is, I actually like the song.
(Bonus points if you can name the title to Rick Astley’s other hit song from the 80s… leave a comment.)
Oh, and here’s the actual link to stockicons.com.
