MTV Europe Music Awards

The MTV Europe Music Awards have been rickrolled when 4chan, as well as several other forums (I believe ultimate guitar forum actually started it), voted to have Rick Astley nominated. He accepted the nomination and may quite possibly win, which would be probably the largest rickroll ever. Someone add this to the article, I'm not sure where to add it in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.103.47 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 4 October 2008

Rickrolling Linux kernel module written

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A Linux kernel module has been written that, when loaded, intercepts open() system calls and replaces file names ending in ".mp3" with a path to a predefined MP3 file instead. The idea being that the kernel will Rickroll any users' attempt to play an MP3 audio file.
