April Fool's Day sucks. It sucks even moreso when people aren't even creative enough to come up with pranks of their own. That was the case this year as the number of Rick Roll'ds worldwide more than doubled the previous world record of people getting Rick Roll'd in a single day.

For those who aren't familiar with the term Rick Roll'd, it is the practice of thinking you're getting one thing, when in actuality you get a version of the Rick Astley hit song, 'Never Gonna Give You Up.' There is a better definition of the term at the Rick Roll'd wikipedia page. Anyways, Rick Roll'd was the number one prank pulled this year for April Fool's Day.

Not only was it the number one prank pulled, it was the only prank pulled world wide.

"It was fucking whatcky!" said Bozo Poopenstein, prank historian. "There wasn't one single prank pulled worldwide that didn't include Rick Astley. How do you think that makes him feel."

With creativity nonexistent world wide, singing telegrams were sent doing the famous song and work email chains went out in high number all leading to the video. Even world famous site YouTube.com got in on the act by Rick Roll'ing all of it's April 1st visitors.

Some people fear that making such a giant joke of such a great song will make people forget just how kickass the song is.

But how does the Rick involved in Rick Roll's feel about it?

"I love the prank," said 80's music superstar Rick Astley. "I hope nobody ever gives it up, never let it down. Never turn around, and desert it."
