Yeah, I know that it was funny once, but wow, this thing has to stop. I mean, Rick Astley was gone... we didn't have to see or hear his music unless it was a retro weekend or you were hanging around someone who was totally into the 80's.
But now he may be recognized as the Best Act In The History of the MTV EMAs, and even though the voting may be a joke, and MTV has long ceased to be a viable entity in the music industry, the prospect that the mockery of Rick Astley somehow makes him in anyway cool again is horrifying. How did we let this happen as a society?
I don't know if any of us can stop the ship from hitting the iceberg... but I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. And I am that somebody.
I am advocating a replacement clip for some form of rolling, and I think I have just such a replacement.
Behold the new ownage.
I think that it would work. Please roll someone with it tonight if you love pop culture and don't want to see Rick Astley get a gratuitous award because a group of us on the internet just didn't think about what we were doing when we were perpetuating the game... we just didn't know it would go this far.
