Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade gets Rickrolled

You're sitting there, watching the float for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, when, all of a sudden, the music stops ... and the audience at home gets one of the biggest Rickrollings ever.

The fact that my grandma now knows about Rickrolling means it is officially so five minutes ago.

Wow.

Yeah - that's something like the Chuck Norris thing jumping the shark once he's doing it for Mike Huckabee ads.

But worse. The puppet saying: "I love RickRolling!" at the end is just awful. Like "Get it?! Get it?!"

If they'd just done it without comment I might have thought it was really funny and been going: "Wait...are they...?"

I just had a fabulous idea for an April Fools prank involving all the N+R blogs...although I'm pretty sure we can figure out someplace better to sen people than a bad 80s pop video.

Epic lulz FTW. XD

(Too bad I haven't watched the Macy's parade since I was about 12, though.)
