The Mets have been Rickrolled, fans not particularly happy
Apparently Mr. Astley's pop tune got the most votes and the Mets played the song during last night's season opener. But the Mets have decided that you can't trust anything you read on the internet, especially poll results. So the team will be playing the top 6 songs once per game for the first six games of the season to see which one the actual fans in the stadium like the best. Judging by the booing in the fan-made videos floating around YouTube, we're going to go out on a limb and assume that last night may have been the last time anyone will hear "Never Gonna Give You Up" at Shea.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Why is rickrolling this fucking popular? This is quite possibly one of the dumbest internet memes to go around ever. OH NO, YOU TRICKED ME INTO LISTENING TO A MEDIOCRE 80S POP TUNE! WOW DUDE, YOU SURE GOT ME GOOD!

It sounds like someone fell for more than once themselves.
Actually, I find it hilarious because now that so many people have fallen victim, people have had to come up with increasingly creative ways to do it. I fell for it April 1st when I thought I would be getting "hilarious muppet outtakes" and instead saw an inspired video with Beaker singing it and Animal and the Electric Mayhem backing him up.

Your right. It's not funny. Mildly amusing, but on the whole, not funny.

That was no where near as fun as I'd imagined it would be. Sigh.

The largest would have to be the Family Guy rickroll. It's not that the meme is funny in itself, however when you sucker people into watching it with a very clever one, it's damn good personal entertainment.

Oh that's hilarious .. Mind you I can understand how they fell for that as the other popular choices are pretty mixed bag.
