    Have You Been Rick Rolled?

    There is an interesting fast moving prank on the web these days called Rick Rolling. Perhaps you have heard of it. Perhaps not. It goes like this a friend sends you a message with a link that - "OMG! You have to see this!"  kind of message and the link goes HERE SO ahead click it - I'll wait...

    You have now been Rick Rolled - taken against your will to a Rick Astley video from the mid 80's.  Apparently the kids think this is hilarious and on April Fools Day there was much Rick Rolling going on worldwide.

    Now, whenever I hear the name Rick Astley I am reminded of Nick Lowe's song "All Men are Liars" Which features these lyrics:

    Do You remember Rick Astley?

    He had a big fat hit it was ghastly.

    He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down,

    Well I'm here to tell you that Dick's a clown.

    Though he was just a boy when he made that vow,

    I'll bet it all that he knows by now...

    All Men, all men are Liars..."

    The video is pretty amusing - And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Nick Lowe!

    You can get revenge and NICK-Roll the next person who Rick Rolls you by pointing then to This Page
