No it is not a joke :rolleyes:

The singer, who has been the theme of online prank "Rickrolling"--where purportedly serious links actually take users to YouTube clips of the singer's videos--beat the likes of Green Day and U2 to claim the most votes from viewers.

lol, another forum I'm on didn't have a policy against it or anything, but after the admin lost a bunch of work after getting rickrolled and the user got banned, people got the message. :ss

It is funny how the M in MTV is supposed to stand for music.

Last time I checked, they were showing "My Sweet 16" and "Sex With Mom and Dad"

Where the hell is the music :mad:

An April 2008 poll by SurveyUSA estimated that at least 18 million American adults have been Rickrolled.

Wow, now I don't feel so badly for falling for it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa....don't pick on my guilty pleasure....Sweet 16...I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE THOSE SPOILED KIDS! Okay, I'm just jealous of the just-turned 16-year old snagging the $100k car as their present but getting pi$$ed because it was the wrong one.
