Sorry, but who is Rick Roll?

Hi Lindsay.
Rick Roll is a prank based on the Rick Astley song Never Gonna Give You Up. It is all over the web right now, and some are downright malicious. The prank is hidden in "innocent" links like "Hilary uses racial slurs". I got caught with this one today. I clicked on the link, was taken to the Astley song. Only I could not leave the page until I clicked my way through all of the lyrics of the song. Malicious. Found it funny when I first caught on to it. Downright irritating now.
So be careful out there.
