WTF???

Today I wanted to watch the number 1 promoted video of the day, but I got redirected here… Weird. Let's click on the channel page… WTF?


In fact, you can read on Wikipedia that it is a recent phenomenon on the Internet called "Rickrolling":
Rickroll is an Internet meme involving Rick Astley's music video for his song "Never Gonna Give You Up". In a rickroll, a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes the user to the Astley video. By May 2007[1], the practice had become widespread, and it eventually began to receive some coverage in the mainstream media.[2][3][4]

(…)

On April 1, 2008 (April Fools' Day), all YouTube Featured Videos hyperlinked to the Rickroll. The prank began with international YouTube portals before affecting the main site.[5]

This was an evil scheme! High five, YouTube!

If you go to Uncyclopedia and look for rickrolling, you end up on the "Flogging a dead horse" entry… However, you can learn how to rick roll somebody… You can also read the brilliant list of the 100 worst April Fools jokes ever… And something that has to be highlighted:
One of the other odd things about April Fools' Day is that it is the only time of year when Uncyclopedia users are allowed to write something actually true, and the Uncyclopedia Main Page looks much like the Main Page of arch nemesis Wikipedia. Sadly, these articles are usually regarded as nonsense the next day and are reverted or otherwise removed, the bunch of arrogant bastards.
Check the April 1st Main Page!!!
