haha.
I'm not mad. I loved it! I actually knew what it was before I clicked because the actual link shows up at the bottom of my screen.
It's funny. I Rick Rolled my wife at work a couple months ago. She was pissed! Then sent it to like 10 of her friends.
Dex, There is a common internet joke that gets played on people. They put up a fake link that winds up taking you to a youtube video of Rick Astley singing his classic 80's song, "Never gonna give you up". Recently some computer whiz figured out how to make the link really evil. Now when it pops up it makes your internet browser shrink to 1/4 screen.. then makes it move around on your computer so that you can't catch up with the button to close it. All the while your speakers blare the song really loud. Then when you do catch up with the X to close the program, it gives you pop-up boxes that give you the lyrics instead of closing it.
It's a very cruel joke!
But one that's near and dear to my heart. LOL
