Of course the dude made a good point - Astley is getting royalties from every time you rickroll someone now.

No sound, couldn't listen to the video. How exactly does one receive royalties from youtube hits? There are countless mirrors posted around.

CNN said that Rickrolling started with Family Guy.

Rickrolling is a derivative of duckrolling, and both originate at 4chan.

It was funny once or twice, but as always, things get overplayed until there is absolutely nothing funny or amusing about it. Also, that song isn't that bad anyway. It is a bit dated, but that's it. The video is a bit goofy though.

Although Family Guy is a great show, to think it actually came up with anything original whatsoever is completely retarded. Then again, the mainstream media is not exactly a source for popular culture info.

CNN deserves to be rickrolled for their inaccurate source.

 

[0roo0roo]

i saw the exact same clips on that show... and the same @#% mistake attributing it to family guy
they are sharing stories...same interviewer and everything.
