Foo Fighters rick rolls Westboro Baptist Church!!!!!!!!!

[kpete]

They decided the only appropriate response was a good, old-fashioned Rickroll. Yes, the Foo Fighters Rickrolled Westboro Baptist Church. As they started rolling down the street in their pickup truck, they blasted Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” from their speakers. All the while, they were holding signs up that said things like, “Keep it clean,” and “You got Rick Rolled (again).”

Here's some info about Rickrolling:

Rickrolling is an Internet meme[1] involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch; a person provides a hyperlink which is seemingly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually leads to Astley's video. The link can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. People led to the music video are said to have been rickrolled. Rickrolling has extended beyond web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places, such as a live appearance of Astley himself in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.[1] The meme helped to revive Astley's career.[2]
