April Fools': YouTube Rick Rolled Everyone

Today, YouTube Rick Rolled thousands (possibly millions) of users who clicked on their featured video listings. All the videos pointed to a Rick Astley video (hence the term, Rick Rolling).

I love it.

For those who don’t know, Rick Rolling is the term used when someone makes a link like, “Free Porn,” on a discussion forum, but instead of seeing a lot of bare skin, visitors are taken to a Rick Astley video. It’s a classic tactic on forums.
