New York Mets got Rickrolled
April 08, 2008 at 07:33 pm
The Internet has been on a collision course with real-life for a while. Every day it gets closer and closer. Like
this:
The Mets will have a runoff to determine their new eighth-inning sing-along tune.
The organization received 5 million votes on its Web site after inviting fans to choose from among 10 selections to potentially replace Sweet Caroline. An issue arose, however, when FARK.com readers bombarded the Mets with gag votes for a write-in candidate: Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
The Astley tune actually won. Rather than commit to that as the new eighth-inning tune since it probably doesn’t reflect the fan base’s wishes, the Mets will play the top six selections once apiece during the first six games of their home stand. The one that draws the largest crowd response will stick.
It would have been funnier if it was a Spice Girls song or something not 4chan related. 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is actually a pretty sweet tune.
Sweet tune indeed.
Don't mean to butt in, but... bunksteve here. If you haven't heard Mr. Astley's classic song, I can't think of any better way to experience than
this very special video.Sweet tune indeed.

How did such a tiny, white Irish motherfucker get such a beautiful voice? Did his sister hit him in the throat with a baseball bat when he was a kid and all of a sudden he sounded like Luther Vandross? I mean... jeez.

Were no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do i
A full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand
* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Weve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But youre too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it
And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see
(* repeat)
Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up
I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

I don't like how tricking somebody to click a misleading link is being referred to as "Rick Roll'd". Fuck that shit. It's called being "Goatse'd".
All these little kids think they're so fucking creative. Wow, you tricked your friend in to watching some queer sing and dance. LOLZ!!!!!11 When I was your age I tricked my friends to watching some guy pull is asshole open with all of his fingers. Go fuck ya self.

So true joey. So true. Times have changed. We're supposedly a less moral society but I'm pretty sure Goatse from 1997 trumps Rick Astley from now.

Why would my editing privileges be removed, alan? All I did was just add one little link to the thing. :)
And honestly, I think I'd rather be Rick Roll'd than Goatse'd. Or Lemon Party'd. Or Tub Girl'd.
Yes, that's right... I think Rick Astley is less gay and gross than two old guys blowing each other and a chick having a wave of diarrhea shooting out of her ass. Sue me.
