So we had this assembly about Headshaving for children's cancer, and while people's heads were being shaved, random songs were being played. One of them JUST SO HAPPENED to be "Never Gonna Give you up" by Rick Astley. Only a few people got it, but still....not everyday when your school decides to rickroll every student and staff member at once.

THAT SONG EXISTS OUTSIDE THE INTERNET???

AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO NEVER HEARD OF RICKROLL??????

DAMN

Wow, they heard a song by Rick Astley! They totally got pwned!

No, what I meant that the meme is going too mainstream, and rarely anyone except the internet gets the joke enough for it to do so.

By the time something from the internet makes it into mainstream media, it's usually already passée.

In my opinion, Rickrolling was a sucky fad from the start. The only way I really find it funny is that its original purpose, which was to be used as a workaround for the law that makes it illegal to trick people into clicking naughty links, is kind of funny in an ironic sense. Otherwise, it sucks.

I'm pretty fucking sure that the "Rickroll" going mainstream isn't the issue when it's a background song in a school-film about cancer.

And what exactly is "too mainstream"? Are we supposed to care?

Although it's not like the Rickroll was ever funny.

How long will it take until it finally dies?

About as long as it took "owned" and "pwned" to die

total facial

I don't know really, but a random 80's song poping up frequently today would seem kinda mainstream, and it wasn't a film, it was a live event, but I guess that's all the same. Either or, you don't have to care because

I just felt like telling the story is all. It was old about 10 months ago.

your school forced you to shave your heads?

Quote from: BLACKFACEINATOR;1298922your school forced you to shave your heads?

No, students chose to shave their heads, but we managed to force several teachers to do it.

id never shave my head for anyone. JUST BECAUSE THEY CANT GROW HAIR DOESNT MEAN I HAVE TO SUFFER TOO

on my schools morning announcements, they play music suggested by students, a week ago they played never going to give you up.

on april fools everyone got rickrolled for a full minute or so over the PA, and it interrupted everyone's classes
