Have you been Rick Rolled? Well, if you're not familiar with the term, what have you been doing for the past months? Hehehe. It's the same as getting "punk'd". Rick Rolling is one of the most popular internet pranks this year. The goal is to make anyone watch a really cheesy 80s music video of Rick Astley singing "Never Going To Give You Up".

I got Rick Rolled when I was searching YouTube for videos of Tina Fey's impersonations of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. I thought I found the video and when I got to the half part of the video, I was already watching Rick Astley shaking his booty to Never Gonna Give You Up. Damn! That was funny.
