When the New York Mets decided to post on online contest for their opening song, they didn’t realize the kind of problems that the “Other” choice could provide.
The Internet responded by a massive movement through YTMND and Digg.com to vote for the other… and who would that other be? Well, none other than “Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up”
And that’s absolutely sweet that everyone at the regional got rickrolled. Almost as bad as losing the game. (I’m officially announcing that I lose right now.)
(Unless you play by our team’s rules, in which there is a VERY slight possibility you could win, though it would require a lot of planning.)
(In fact by me mentioning it on such a large message-board as this, I could probably win sometime today. I could provide our modifier rules for anyone that is interested.)
Story: Anime Boston, an annual anime convention held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, holds and AMV (anime music video) contest. There are five categories. Action, Drama, Romance, Comedy, and Fun/Upbeat/Other. The AMVs are screened in a large auditorium that can seat several thousand people.
This legendary creator performed one of the most amazing Rick Rolls ever. I think the Mets Rick Roll takes the cake, but this is still fantastic.
Yes, it plays the song that gets on everybody’s nerves for three and a half minutes.
I must say, one of the things I enjoy most about having iMacs (and thus integrated speakers) just installed in our computer lab is the ability to rickroll the other users of the lab. It’s kinda fun. (Kinda.)
Speaking of NY didnt they play it on saturday also?
I swear I thought I heard it while I was in the FTC stands, the girl who rickroll’d me earlier in the month, thought we heard that song, I swore I heard it.
