It’s fairly straightforward — people will link to a video that begins as something else, but then goes into the video for the 1980s hit, “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Ashley. I know, I know. Once again, the fact show us that the Internet is the greatest time waster in the history of people looking for time wasters. And that’s saying something, considering how much people enjoy wasting time.
Anyway, this trick is called a Rick Roll, and You Tube took the joke to a new level on April Fool’s Day, making every one of its “featured videos” a link to the Astley video, no matter what it advertised. I know there are some of you saying: Who’s Rick Astley? What song? I slept through the ‘80s, what are you talking about?
For you, I give you the following link. Be warned: it will stick in your head ALL day. I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying it sticks. By the way, in case your wondering, I didn’t embed it because You Tube will no longer allow it.
Just click here.
