Rick Astley Rolls Through Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Thanks to NBC, there's probably not anyone left who hasn't been Rickroll'd. It started out innocently enough as the characters from Cartoon Network's Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends strolled through the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. But during one of the stops in which the creatures were in the middle of a song, 80s pop star Rick Astley emerged out of nowhere and started belting out the all too familiar "Never Gonna Give You Up." At the end of the song, one of the creatures exclaims "I like Rickrolling!" Apparently, so does NBC.
This isn't the first time event goers have unwittingly been Rickroll'd offline. In 2007, the New York Mets organization held an online contest intended to let the team's fans determine what would become the Mets' traditional eigth-inning sing-along. Instead, online pranksters sabotaged the poll and voted up Rick Astley's former hit song. Realizing what had happened, the Mets decided to play the top six selections, including "Never Gonna Give You Up," and let the crowd's reaction decide the winner. Not surprisingly, the crowd broke out in a chorus of 'boos' when Rick Astley's song started playing.
Love RICK ASTLEY!

Rick's glory days are in the past, but no one's more aware of this than Mr Astley himself. I'm sure he also had as much as fun as we did.

Rick Rolling is too mainstream now. Maybe it's time for Bel Air or something.
