During this year's April Fool's Day, YouTube "Rickrolled" -- as its called -- every user that clicked on a "Featured" video on its front page. Rickrolling refers to getting unsuspecting victims to watch or listen to "Never Gonna Give You Up." There were several efforts that linked to YouTube vidoes of the music video on April 1st, but getting a giant crowd to sing it on a regular basis for the rest of the year is... well, ridiculous. Here's to supporting ridiculousness.
Note: The dancing in the video is also ridiculous, and if you happen to need an extra identity (hey, some of us don't like being counted only once), the fake name generator is always good to go.

Really folks... was Rick Rolling ever funny? Seriously?
"Hey, check out this link to this awesome thing..."
"Um... I clicked it but it went to a Rick Astley video?!?"
"LOL! You've been RICK ROLLED!!!"
"Oh yeah? What's that then?"
"It's only the latest mass-approved arbitrary humor object, straight from the intarwebs! I've read at least three articles on Digg saying how funny it is. Duh, get with the meme!!!"
"Oh. Well I guess I get it then. Um... this is where I type LOL, right?"
Stay tuned next week when we all start texting each other "Guess what/That's what" messages. Comedy!!!
