RickRoll students
by Tommy
Read on Rick’s (O’Shea, not Astley) blog about a lecturer of classical literature who has started quoting Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley (more commonly known as the RickRoll song) in each of his classes.
As he says..
The project is simple: I’m a lecturer in liberal arts teaching adults literature on a college programme, and my object is to Rickroll every lecture and tutorial class I teach over the course of this semester. Your standard Rickroll would, of course, be to offer some poor dupe a misleading link which, when clicked, will redirect him to a video of Rick Astley’s classic 80s hit Never Gonna Give You Up. For a man of letters, however, that kind of trickery isn’t subtle enough. Plus, I don’t want to be unethical and waste actual teaching time playing pranks on the students – this is only a game, and their education of course comes first. So what I intend to do is to slip a phrase, or lyric, from the song into every one of my classes, and use this blog to record the convoluted ploys I use to work Rick’s magic into my students’ lives.
How long will it take them to rumble me? Let’s find out!
How awesome is he? :D
He hasn’t even been rumbled yet!
