YouTube's April Fools' Joke – Millions Get Rickrolled

I thought that video of Lala showering was the best I was gonna get, but on a day when even the proper British Broadcasting Corporation is known to pull out all the stops for a prank (not to mention the other unlikely organizations that indulge in the playday), I should have known better.

Dancing to the ’80s pop beat of the meme of the moment, YouTube has changed the Featured Video links on its homepage to redirect to Rick Astley‘s Never Gonna Give You Up.  Millions will be Rickrolled

.  Who uploaded the vid?  User YTRickRollsYou.  Embeds are disabled so just be sure to give it a watch so that we all can have the same song stuck in our heads.



If you have no idea what’s going on and need an education on the art of Rickrolling, click here. (Seriously, that’s a real link.  Honest.)
