Hes rickrolling now become a self depricating maneuver?

CyberAgeGary 04-07-2008 10:35 AM
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.

D Ghost 04-07-2008 10:59 AM
yeah seems like this could be a "BBC Bullshit Number"

the thing i hate about shit like this, is the it never dies. this shit was no longer funny way over a year ago. yet there's still people trying to rickroll you every couple days somewhere...

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