This might only make proper sense for those who are moderately into Internet memes, but maybe someone here has already been... RICKROLL'D.
There isn't much mysticism about it: you just lure people into clicking a link which supposedly has something awesome (in the beginning, it was a GTA trailer video, but it can be anything right up to Jessica Alba pictures) but, actually, has the unbelievably, hilariously campy video for Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. That's all, really; yet the meme escalated to insane hights, even being used in protests against the Church of Scientology. And, of course, it gave rise to hundreds of spoofs and parodies, including Tay Zonday, famous for Chocolate Rain, doing his own RickRoll'D.
So, of course, as an Oldfield representative, I think the best way to get revenge for a RickRoll is with a... MikeRoll.
But... with which video? First one I thought was Innocent, but what are YOUR suggestions?
