Rickrolling an entire stadium!! - Page 3

Ghoulish Delight · 04-08-2008, 10:37 PM

It worked! So far MLB has been successful in pulling the video down, but at tonight's home opener at Shea Stadium, Never Gonna Give You Up played in the 8th inning.

To a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Though, as I suspected, the organization is playing it's trump card, pointing to wording in the rules of the online poll that says voters would only "help determine" the song. They will be playing the 6 finalists (the 5 actual options + tonight's playing of NGGYU) and select the winner based on in-stadium reaction. Judging by the reports of tonight's reaction, I'm guess this is the only night it'll play (unless some expert booers start buying large blocks of tickets).

Amused I am.

I guess I can accept this "Vote for the Worst" sabotage here since in my view, with the exception of the seventh inning stretch, the only things people should be doing between innings at baseball games are buying refreshments, urinating and cleaning up their scorecards.

Amen. If you need constant audio stimulation at a sporting event, go to an game.
