There is an interesting fast moving prank on the web these days called Rick Rolling. Perhaps you have heard of it. Perhaps not. It goes like this a friend sends you a message with a link that – "OMG! You have to see this!" kind of message and the link goes HERE SO ahead click it – I’ll wait…
You have now been Rick Rolled – taken against your will to a Rick Astley video from the mid 80’s. Apparently the kids think this is hilarious and on April Fools Day there was much Rick Rolling going on worldwide.
Now, whenever I hear the name Rick Astley I am reminded of Nick Lowe’s song "All Men are Liars" Which features these lyrics:
Do You remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit it was ghastly.
He said I’m never gonna give you up or let you down,
Well I’m here to tell you that Dick’s a clown.
Though he was just a boy when he made that vow,
I’ll bet it all that he knows by now…
All Men, all men are Liars…"
The video is pretty amusing – And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Nick Lowe!
You can get revenge and NICK-Roll the next person who Rick Rolls you by pointing then to This Page
