Rick-roll

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I watched a video the other day about the really negative effect that rick-rolling can have on some people.

It's really worth watching; the guy makes some really good points.

Are you having a turn at being one of those spammers today, putting dodgy links in chat!
Are we gonna have to get Mr Pista on the case to send you to the naughty trash step for a while!

I noticed on Dime recently that Rick Astley had done a radio session recently (and another one a few months ago). Both times I looked at the tracklisting out of curiosity, and he didn't play that song. Ungrateful b'stard!
