An honest link. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3395589/Rickrolling-Rick-Astley-named-Best-Act-Ever-at-the-MTV-Europe-Music-Awards.html)

I don't know why this made me laugh so much.

'Rick Astley was named the Best Act Ever at the MTV Europe Music Awards, as fans of the 1980s singer pulled off the biggest ever "Rickroll".'

we all suspected that MTV was nothing to take seriously. Now we know :-)

Looks like they're starting a competition with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, to see who can lose the most credibility on the shortest space of time ...

Would you take them more seriously if they ignored millions of votes? I say fair play, their voting system encouraged multiple voting so thats what people did. They could have declared it a prank or changed the system but they didn't.

Dallas cowboys (I think that was the NFL team?) did, they had a poll to decide the new official club anthem and Astley won but they refused to use it.

French have a fascination with Jerry Lewis
The Germans have David Hasselhoff...
And now apparently all of Europe has a thing for Rick Astley?

EU has lost it's right to criticize the US for anything.....Evah!!!

The Joke started in the USA and was pushed mainstream by Youtube, so please dont blame us :(

I know guys that had auto-voting scripts setup to make this happen. Allowing multiple voting was their downfall. And the funniest ****ing rick roll ever.
