The Rick

So I was reading CNET's Crave blog on Friday and read about this thing called rickrolling, and I must admit I had not heard of it before.

In short, during a message board or blog discussion, someone posts a link that they say is related to the topic. In reality, the link takes you to a video of Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up." Apparently, this is quite the rage. (NOTE: I will not subject you to that here)

Personally, being a child of the '80s, this is kind of distressing. And frankly, I know that Rick wouldn't condone that sort of behavior. In fact, there are lot of things that he wouldn't do.
