Depending on your POV, this could be seen as quite an uplifting thing.

Sure, it's a dumb joke and it makes a mockery of the voting process involved.

But the combination of this and Ron Paul not now being the President-elect shows that the combined mass of the internet can steam-roller the pompous over-inflated self-importance of institutions like MTV (who are now so far removed from popular music that I'm sure they think they have done a good thing here) but when critical thinking and expressing an opinion is important, mob-rule is put to one side.

YES! We're never going to give Rick up, or let rick down, or run around and hurt rick.

I voted. Rickrolling MTV... good times.

Wasn't this posted some time ago? I seem to remember IP rallying people to vote for The Rickster

*edit* Found it

He was nominated ages ago, but now -he's won-, they were last night.

Yes and with the MTV awards being last night he actually won. Thanks to IP and millions of others who voted for him online.

I thought I'd seen something about a campaign to have him nominated. For the love of god, I wish everyone would have just left this man back in the 80's where he belongs lol

I voted too. 354,000 times. My wife thinks I'm an idiot for doing it. (She's usually right.)

It's all there in the article - one click would have saved you all that searching time...

Ip rallying people on Plime to vote for Rick Astley was not in the article O_0

I seriously doubt that the Daily Telegraph has even heard of Icepigs or Plime :)

I'm so proud.

WHAT? They've never heard of me?


I feel so small and insignificant.


Thanks, DL, for ruining my day. I think I go curl up in the fetal position and cry in the corner now.

You're welcome?

Yep. Totally agree with that ^ ^ ^. I don't want to hear any weeping or gnashing of teeth.

Thanks a lot. Just, thanks.

Woot, running Imacros for 48 hours straight has paid off :D

I feel kinda sorry for the guy, knowing that the only EMA he's ever going to get is a huge joke :)

We're never gonna give him up!

farking html....grrr...formats one minute, then doesn't another.

and screw you for your downvote on a f**king rick-roll in a rick-roll post....wtf is your problem?
