          Rick Roll entering the mainstream is the worst thing that could ever happen to the internet.

                  Hes rickrolling now become a self depricating maneuver?

                    Do you think he is making any type of money from people watching his video?

                    Do you think people are buying his albums because of this?

                      Why would you buy his album when you can download it free?

                          I thought it would be MUCH more.

                          How many visits does YouTube get daily?

                          They had *all* their front page videos/links pointing to Rick Roll on April Fools.

                                  I'm surprised the record company hasn't asked YouTube to pull their content yet.

                                    The link that munki posted appears to be the one that youtube was rolling everyone with on April 1st... 7,118,423 views
