Shorty Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 haha, rickrolling the mtv awards actually worked... I'm impressed. Nice work, internet.
BeerMonkey Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 really hope he wins but he is up against the likes of greenday and u2 and others
Ramar Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Awesome. But why do all these media people get rickrolling wrong. That particular link says it happened in April (as if to be April fools) when really we all know rickrolling has been about for ages. And I recall newspapers covering it like it was a virus plaguing internet users. It's just a hidden link..
triforcemario Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 For once, /b/ have actually done something to benefit the world (they've been getting Rick Astley voted for months now)
ReZourceman Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Amazing. Bloody love Rick Rolls. As a tribute whenever I get Rick Rolled I do listen to the whole thing.
Paj! Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Apparently it's all a hoax. NO NO NO NO NO *dies* I knew it too.
Coolness Bears Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 HELL YES! Well done Internet, I am proud! Amazing. Bloody love Rick Rolls. As a tribute whenever I get Rick Rolled I do listen to the whole thing. Same here! though it rarely happens to me. :p
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Apparently it's all a hoax. The moment my finger left the mouse button, I became aware of my error. :p Anyway, cool news. EEVIL speaks the truth: His music really beats much of today's music. That's a general rule of eighties' music.
chairdriver Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Besides, he pisses on most music today. Yeah, on most shit music.
Jimbob Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Good on him, i'd piss myself laughing if he won an award.
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Yeah, on most shit music. Which is an apt word for most of all today's music.
Apple_NdiB Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 For once, /b/ have actually done something to benefit the world (they've been getting Rick Astley voted for months now) They'll fuck it all up if they keep using those auto-voting programs though.
Paj! Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 The very fact Toki Hotel and Britney Spears are up for "Best Act In History" just makes the whole thing seem ridiculous. I mean, if it was Astley among actual worthy nominees, yeah, it's a joke. But most of the nominees are a joke. Fine, Britney is universally known, and defines Y2K pop for many, but Toki EFFING Hotel?! Not only are they shit, they have like...one album.

I pray Britney wins tbh, even though the award is obviously a complete farse.
triforcemario Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 They'll fuck it all up if they keep using those auto-voting programs though.I don't think they're doing that this time. All I've seen are lots of posts telling people to vote for Rick Astley directly within the MTV website.
chrizkerr2 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Apparently it's all a hoax. /Facepalm at myself. Can't believe i fell for that... Good show
