Never Gonna Give You Up

For those who are not familiar with the term 'Internet Meme', here's a definition of it; it is used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads from person to person via the Internet, but this excludes spams or chain mails. The meme, however, usually consists of jokes or animations and such.

During the first half of the year 2007, the YouTube community saw the birth of Rickrollin', a form of meme involving the user being misled into watching a music video of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Hahaha.. Yeah, I was tricked into watching it by clicking on one of the Top Gear episodes in YouTube. The meme circulated around & was so popular that on April Fools Day, YouTube hyperlinked all the featured videos on it's main page to Rickroll.

It's a nice song, really. And I'm adding it to my Imeem for ya'll today. Hahahah!! You're Rickroll'd!! LoLz.. Anyway, this is an afternoon post.. Gotta ciaoz early to so-call study Biology. Have a nice day, folks..
