Geek Tip: Never Be RickRolled Again

June 3, 2008

It peaked on April Fool's Day, and now I don't want to be RickRolled ever again. It's high time for a new meme — one that doesn't involve the sentiment that one would never give me up, or let me down.

Let me share with you a way to banish Rick Astley from your eyes and ears, and then let's be done with it, OK?

Just enter your suspected-Rickrolling url into Rickproof and it'll tell you whether the site is at a high or low risk for a RickRoll. I realize that by doing this, you're inviting that dreaded song into your head, but I think that the best offense is a good defense. Good luck out there!

I don't mind it too much...it seems to have simmered down a bit. I like the creative ones, like the Muppet Rickroll. Now that was just plain impressive.

Is it wrong that I actually like the song after getting rickrolled? I really don't mind it at all, and I find it hilarious to get rickrolled. It's just a silly video.

Haha, linb, in retrospect, you're totally right. But I just couldn't hear it again.

I've never been rickrolled (don't get any ideas, anyone...). I must say I'm disappointed in you GeekSugar. You missed a great opportunity to rickroll us all with either of the two links in the post.
