The New York Times Gets RickRoll'd

You may remember a few months ago when I introduced Poopheads to the RickRoll.
In case you forgot RickRolling is when you send someone a link, promoting it as something they would really enjoy, but actually the video is Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Since then the RickRoll has become a cultural phenomenon, leading to this awesome video.



The New York Times, not quite the trendiest paper, tried to catch on to the trend but evidently didn't do their fact checking.

According to the local station, the above stunt did not actually happen at a basketball game, it was edited to look that way though. Trust me, watch this, the guy who did it is awesome.

And then there's this, the best RickRoll ever.
