Rickrolling an entire stadium!!
 

For those of you who don't know what "Rickrolling" is, look it up.

For those of you who do know (or have just looked it up), imagine an entire stadium full of Mets fans being Rickrolled! :eek:

I have no idea if this will actually work. For all I know the Mets organization is going to completely ignore this voting and just pick something, but I'm willing to give it a try. They have a poll up on their website where the fans can vote for what song will be played during the 8th inning of every game this season for a sing-a-long. Well, the link to the survey was posted on Digg and whoever posted it is hoping enough people will write in "Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley".

This amuses me far more than it should.

Here's the link if you want to help the cause. It requires entry of name/email/phone number. I just put in bogus info.

Again, who knows if this will amount to anything, but it's pretty minimal effort for a possible awesome payoff.

How about

Beakerrolled!

:snap:

Done

Wikipedia article about the long and storied history of rickrolling. It's quite fascinating actually. Thanks for turning me on to it, GD.

(Oh, and I voted... can't resist :))

Hmm. The link didn't work.
Here's the correct link to the site.

Man, I don't know that I have ever been so sick of an internet meme that I haven't actually experienced myself.

It reminds me of the Macarena. I college friend and I happened to be on a cross country trip the summer that Macarena hit and we visited a lot of baseball stadiums on the way. It was amazing how quickly that spread. The first game they played it and people were like "what the **** is this?" By the end of the trip three weeks later sports stadiums were touting having had the largest group Macarena in the world.

That one annoyed me too.

Okay, you got me.

Twice.

I'm still not sure what it all means, though.

Can't say you weren't educated on rickrolling though, can you? (I really hadn't ever heard of it till this thread)

Seriously... I was just about to post that. Public mojo to the MAX!
