Youtube rickrolls its users on April Fools Day
Well well, just as expected, Youtube.com rickrolls users who click on any videos under the “Featured Videos” section on the main page. Youtube UK and Youtube Australia also did the April Fools trick but their day started earlier.
Not really sure what Rickroll is? It’s when you click a link to video but instead, you were served with Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” song. Check out my previous post about Rickroll here.

Rickroll meme rolls into reality
I can’t see the reason for it but apparently, Rickroll song is now an anti-Scientologist song. Maybe because of the people’s disgust whenever they get rickrolled that the protesters associate the song with the church.
Don’t know what’s I’m talking about? Well obviously you haven’t been rickrolled. Let me bring you up to speed here.
Say you are reading your favourite forum when you see this great post with a link that says “Check this video out!! It’s Datuk Chua Soi Lek’s infamous hotel video on youtube!“. So being the porn-freak that you are, you click on it and what do you see?
It’s a video of Rick Astley swaying and “rolling” his hands to the tune of his famous late 80s hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Not only you didn’t get to see the said video, but you’ve just been Rickrolled!
You can read some history on it here. Just like any other meme, it has taken other various forms too. Another reality rick roll is this one, where a hired singer is sent and sang live to his victim.
I think because of this meme now I will think twice before clicking on any links. Watch video of Church of Scientology gets Rickrolled below.
You missed Rick Astley? Click here to read what he says about this phenomenon (don’t worry, it’s not a rickroll).
Letter from a Sabahan
This article was taken from Malaysia-Today’s Letter to the Editor column. It was from one “Wildman of Borneo”. Though I don’t agree 100% with what is written here, I tend to agree with a lot. Read at your own risk.
First of all, congratulations for those folks in Kedah, Perak, Kelantan, Penang and Selangor for having the guts to changes. And, the utmost congratulations the folks in Sabah for showing their true color, which is, being dumb and dumber.
For being Sabahan, I’m disgusted, ashamed, frustrated, fooled, dismayed, shocked and whatever feeling ones felt if being let down. Well, this is only me saying and Sabahan has decided ‘we truly love BN!’ saying out loud.
For the next five years, we Sabahan should glorify and never ever complained wrong doing. Again, we Sabahan have decided, right?
We will glorify corrupt act, support corrupt politicians to the very ends. If it requires, we shall assist them in their unlawful activity or simply closed one eye.
We will go all out partying for having another or a couple more case of Donni John Duin, 11 years old, who committed suicide because his family was poor. A boy that age knows the shame of being poor, an adults like the most of us are too dumb to have that thoughts. Again, congratulations to Sabahan for supporting poverty elongation plan.
