Rick Astley Is Back On YouTube

from National Public Radio
February 25, 2010

A popular Internet joke is Rickrolling. It's a harmless prank that tricks people into clicking on an Internet link. It takes you to a YouTube video of 80s pop singer Rick Astley performing Never Gonna Give You Up. The video disappeared on Wednesday. Seems someone had flagged the video as spam, so YouTube took it down. But it's back now.
