When Rick Astley himself rickrolled America, that was game over. Finished. End of meme.

As a matter of fact, it' kinda like this:

"The Rickroll has passed on! This meme is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!

The Rickroll is now a stiff! Bereft of life, it needs to rest in peace! If you hadn't nailed it in the chans, it'd be pushing up the daisies!

It's memetic processes are now 'istory! It's off the twig!

It's kicked the bitbucket, It's shuffled off it's mortal tesla coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-MEME!!!"

Cornwell [TotalFark] 2008-12-15 04:20:16 AM  
I really, really, really wish that people would learn some basics to this.

1) Never, EVER have the option of a write-in candidate on the interwebs. You'll end up with equal amounts of Rick Astley and Ron Paul.

2) ALWAYS include a captcha. Any 14 year old troll could knock together a poor attempt of a pr0nsite, which would auto-submit a vote for Rick for this election, every time image number 3 was clicked to be viewed in full on their site.

/Still voted for the sexy, suave dancing machine

 
Churchill2004 [TotalFark] 2008-12-15 04:54:40 AM  
Couldn't they find some Texas-themed songs to be the last song played in Texas Stadium?

Sweet Home Alabama? Rock and Roll All Night? Seriously?

I voted to rickroll them just to punish them for their stupid choices.

But might I suggest a new song? It's not as awesome as the Rick, but would still get a chuckle out of the national TV audience: "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd.

Sadly enough, I had to look up what Rickrolling meant.. however wiki provided me with an amusing article, pointing out Farkers for Rickrolling the Mets (as a Phillies fan, I'm so amused my face hurts).

Indeed. Although the potential for unintended irony (if all irony isn't such by default) is also there. After all, they are never gonna give the cowboys up, but they ARE giving the stadium up. Irony? Perhaps...

zamboni 2008-12-15 08:37:29 PM  
I have a theory. Not a very good one, but a theory nonetheless. They really are looking for a song to play, but can't be bothered to actually give some good choices, so they throw up four crap choices (Sweet Home Alabama??? Please!) then a spot for suggestions. NGGYU will never get chosen, but they are hoping for a popular write-in candidate. They don't have to pay for research, and they can claim it's the fans' choice in case they catch any shiat.

Funny you should say.

WIRED Magazine: ReCAPTCHA wants to improve the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher.
The idea behind reCAPTCHA is that, as long as we're all solving these CAPTCHA puzzles, why not throw in some minimal additional data? By adding a second image with an unsolved word from the Internet Archive book scanning project, ReCAPTCHA allows users to channel their CAPTCHA solving skills into real world benefits.


Because, since I first read this, I have been substituting in either "Rickroll" or "Titties" for the unsolved word in every ReCaptcha I come across, whenever possible. Slowly but surely, I hve been filling the Library of Congress with rickrolls and titties.
