Ok, not really, it was pulled due to terms-of-use violations -- which probably won't come as a shock to most of our readers. User-uploaded music videos have always been a takedown target on YouTube, yet somehow the Rickroll clip managed to survive long enough to pull in over 30 million views. That's nearly double the number of albums Rick Astley sold in the 80s.
It probably won't be long before the same crafty types who brought you gems like Tayroll'd or Fresh Prince Roll'd resurrect the clip. You may not know when, you may not know how, but one day soon one of your jackassy friends will once again wield the Sword of Astley against you.
