Oh, thank Christ

This spoils an April Fool's joke involving Youtube. If you don't care, already know it, or whatever, then click the cut and enjoy.

Thank Christ.

No, I don't think that Youtube linking all their Featured Videos to the Rick Roll video of Never Gonna Give You Up is particularly clever. At the same time, I think it's clever enough for an April Fool's day gag.

However, by doing this, Rick Rolling officially becomes passe. Dad has now done it. It is ineffably uncool now. Those who enjoy the art of pranking will move on to new ground.

It will not die overnight, but this is the death knell, mark my words. All Rick's Base are now Belong To Them. This one's number now gets retired.

And thank Christ for that. It stopped being even vaguely amusing like a month ago. Or more.

But like AYB, there will still be occasional room for a clever reinterpretation.

Occasionally.
