RickRolled 4 times offline in a few months - Am Scared
Gibbo \| 3:42 PM on 05.07.2008	11 comments

Poundland seems to be the main culprit. They RickRoll'd me with the Original song and a Remix but on Sunday Woolworths thought it would join in on the act and RickRoll me too. I thought it was just the shops but then on Monday when i was listening to the Radio while have a game of Hexic HD, what song comes on? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Now i'm scared about the other shops and radio stations being corrupted. </attempt at humour, but it did actually happen>

Clearly a conspiracy is at work here...

My itunes once rick rolled me. I was listing to my music on shuffle and suddenly Rick Astley pops up and starts singing. Turns out my roommate had bought the music video and placed it in all of my playlists, knowing that eventually it would come up.

@ SWPM: Give your roomy a high five for me :D

The funny thing is how Rick Astley thinks hes a badass now, but wont admit that its because of 4chan/the internet

When something like this goes mainstream it kinda ruins the fun for me :(

I had a job interview back in March at a "Zumies" in the mall...The manager told me to dress as a super hero, so I dressed as "Quail Man" from the Nick carton "Doug".

When I got there, "Never gonna' give you up" started playing. I thought for sure it was an elaborate 4chan prank or something. I swear, I was so fucking freaked, I thought they were filming me and /rofling in the garbage cans, hiding.

Bastards.

I was listening to the radio, and the stupid talk jockies started reading the lyrics to their listening audience. I have no idea if that makes it more or less of a Rick Roll, but it was weird.

People still find this funny? Ugh.

@Schmo0zle - lol Nice mini-story, and I appreciate your choice in costume. Why did you have to dress as a super hero, though?
