I'm not gonna mark this politics, even though it was done by a politician, it was done all in good fun and NOT with taxpayer money. Deal with it.

quote Jefferson Smith loves a good political joke. Early last year, the then-freshman Oregon House member from Portland was getting ready for bed when he and his wife, Katy, began bantering back and forth about what might be the ultimate political prank, something that could lighten the increasingly divisive political mood among his colleagues. As Smith recalls, the idea came almost instantly. "What if we were to Rick Roll the legislature without anybody noticing?" he wondered. And that was the seed for what may ultimately prove to be one of the most elaborate political jokes of all time: A nearly two-minute long video of members of the Oregon House of Representatives saying the lyrics of Rick Astley's ubiquitous '80s pop ballad, "Never Gonna Give You Up," literally one word or phrase at a time while in session. As The Ticket reported yesterday, the video, which was posted to YouTube on April Fools Day, has quickly gone viral, meriting write-ups on dozens of blogs and even getting play on MSNBC. The big question: Was it real? The answer, according to Smith, "absolutely." "I've been reading the online chatter," Smith, a Democrat, told The Ticket in his first interview about the video. "Were they actors? Were people's voices dubbed? The answer is that it's all real. Every second is real." You can watch the video here:

Heard that on FB&HW yesterday or the day before...

It just reminded me of a game I bowled about a month ago - the AMF I went to has the pay to play music kiosk that runs through the entire alley's speaker system when you pick a song... I RickRoll'd the place. Then I threw some Pantera in the mix after it.

The confusion was palpable.

Wow... how far off the mark can ya be? LMAO.

The closest station to me that plays it is in Kokomo, so I can't listen to it. But I have Bob and Tom that are based here in Indy, so I get my fill of comedy radio every morning.

I don't find Bob or Tom funny... watch a couple of Joe Stunts (the Michael Jackson house video is hilarious) and you'll start to understand.
