After attempting-and failing-to stop an alignment flamewar with that classic internet prank, the Rick Roll, I began to wonder-are there any other people on here who have indulged in that memetic trick.

By the way, there's a video on YouTube on how to create a custom Rickroll

Click here to find out how.









...What? Don't tell me you didn't see that coming.

Your attempts at Rick Rolling me have failed.

Now prepare yourself...

After seeing it on the daily show, I knew it was played out. You need to understand how the new trick works.

Caution, this links to 4Chan which is not for the faint hearted. Most definitely NSFW.

Oh, BTW - I did see it coming, and I didn't go for it.

Rick Rolling is the stupidest thing on the internet. It isn't funny, it isn't clever, and it makes no damned sense. It would be a lot quicker and easier if Rick Rollers simply posted "I am a complete halfwit, please ignore me".

It's the online equivalent of "Amoronsayswhat".

I dunno - it makes people leery of blindly clicking all links they were sent. That is actually a good thing.

So does common sense.

The defense rests it's case.

And no, I did not rickroll a single one of those links.

I thought about adding a Rick Roll to my phone but, in the end, I think I'll go with that funeral home playback from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
