I rickrolled the team by inserting this function into the code (Python):
def consistencyCheck(self):
from time import sleep
import sys
sleep(10)
data = """We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
<snip>
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you""".split('\n')
while True:
for line in data:
for x in range(30):
sys.stderr.write(line+'\n')
sleep(.05)

am I the only one who thinks it's really stupid? Normally I'm down for a good laugh, I'm definitely not some uptight whatever who thinks he's above it, I just it's stupid and don't really think it's funny.

how is it that so many people use the internet every day and never heard of RR? never mind the full-blown internet addicts, tons of people interact (if you can call it that) in large platforms, including youtube, aka home of the rickroll with cheese. i can't even remember how long ago i first got RR. now youtube is rolling everyone that clicks on a Featured Video. for the record, i knew it was RR. i still want to see the bunny eating a banana, dammit! btw, the official RR is by far the highest quality i've seen on youtube, obviously a dvd rip and possibly a custom encoder.

I RR'ed my GF and she was happy "I use to love this song!" and she sang it, and afterwards I had to hear her sing it about 100 times that weekend.

I was RR'ed in reverse :)
