When '80s Pop Stars Attack: Have You Been Rick Rolled?

Posted Aug 20th 2007 12:23PM by Ada Calhoun

We were just turned on to the internet phenomenon of Rick Rolling (whereby you're lured to click on some exciting-sounding link and it takes you to the god-awful Rick Astley video for "Never Gonna Give You Up"). We have three thoughts about this prank:
1. It's better than chain-emails.
2. It's clearly a publicity stunt for a Rick Astley comeback attempt. (Good luck to everybody.)
3. We should immediately start a "ONJ-Rolling" campaign. Please join me in taking any opportunity to send people to Olivia Newton-John's fur-unitard-mirror video for "Carried Away." Unless anyone knows about a video better than that?
