Rick Astley: Best Act Ever Posted: 1 year ago by pocksucket

If you voted and he takes his tour to your town, you only have yourself to blame.

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.

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 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.
