<p>CaptainJack: Alternate title text</p> <hr /> <div><br /> Removed from the explanation:<br /> <br /> &gt;&gt; It should be noted that in the original prank, the victims voluntarily click on the link instead of having the video forced upon them. Therefore, the scene depicted in the comic is (arguably) no ''Rickrolling'' in the classical sense. Also, since Rick Astley is not the originator of the prank, this is no pay-back scenario. <br /> <br /> Rick voluntarily chose to watch CNN, but was interrupted by an unexpected appearance of &quot;never gonna give you up&quot;. Sounds a lot like rickrolling to me.<br /> <br /> Also, I'm sure the 4chan trolls get trolled by other 4chan trolls all the time. And nobody knows who they are. Rick Astley is the ideal comic target for payback; what, you think he doesn't deserve it? Exactly.

It's simply a link leading to the Rick Roll'd video. [[User:CaptainJack|CaptainJack]] ([[User talk:CaptainJack|talk]]) 20:34, 10 October 2014 (UTC)</div>
