12/16/2008 - Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade gets Rickrolled

Ha, ha, ha, ha!! Were they serious with this? Did the organizers of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade honestly think that Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" was a legitimate internet phenomenon? Well, actually it is, but not in a flattering way for the song. It's been used as a practical joke on YouTube for those dumb enough to click on something that looked enticing. If you fell for the joke, you have been "Rickrolled". I bet one of the organizers was thinking, "Hmmm... let's find the latest internet/YouTube craze and put them in the parade." And after looking at all the "hits" the Rickroll song has received, they thought they found their star. It's either that, or someone played a practical joke on them, and on us all. We were all Rickrolled Thanksgiving Day 2008:
