  • jacobfox2000, on 04/04/2008, -9/+624Not often do you get a chance to rickroll an entire city. DO IT. DO IT NOW.
    • peterjmag, on 04/04/2008, -36/+10Damn. Digg me down.
    • jetboyterp, on 04/04/2008, -32/+5Go pick on the friggin' Yankees and leave my Mets alone!
    • jdotter, on 04/04/2008, -4/+56As a Phillies fan, it would be my pleasure to Rickroll the Mets.
    • passiverebel, on 04/04/2008, -11/+2I thought a rickroll had to be unexpected.
      • TheSupafly, on 04/04/2008, -0/+36You really think the thousands upon thousands of people that will be attending these games all read digg and will be expecting it?
        • passiverebel, on 04/04/2008, -4/+0No, I just think that the song will be announced before hand.
        • passiverebel, on 04/05/2008, -3/+0Even if the specific song isn't announced, people are still expecting a sing-a-long to an unannounced song. Having the unannounced song be "Never gonna give you up" isn't the same as interrupting a basketball game with a Rick Astley song, or interrupting a LaLa shower video for a Rick Astley music video.
    • eoncire, on 04/04/2008, -7/+62I just posted this to MySpace (i know, lame but lots of people there....)

      So, anyone that is hip on internet trends probably knows what im talking about. If you dont, listen up. "Rick Rolling" someone is basically posting a link to something but it actually takes you to another site, typically YouTube, that is playing Rick Astleys ***** lame song "Never Gonna Give You Up".

      Example: Hey guys, i saw this video of a totally hot chick getting freaky on youtube. Check it out!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

      So, the NY Mets are casting a vote to see which song gets played for the "Fan Singalong" in the 8th inning of EVERY HOME GAME. Follow this link.......

      http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/fan_forum/singalon ...

      ......and vote for " Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley"

      • mydigga, on 04/04/2008, -22/+4Thank goodness you are here to help us all use the internets...
        • 8ight, on 04/04/2008, -3/+17No. Thanks eoncire for saving me time looking that up. Stop being jack off mydigga.
          • WalkerTXclocker, on 04/04/2008, -5/+1I just look up a business in Google Maps and use their info
          • mydigga, on 04/05/2008, -7/+2You need to go to website to generate a fake name and zip code? Do you go to wipemyass.com when you finish going to he bathroom? And if you need an explanation of what a Rick Roll is you probably shouldn't be participating... so what was it you had to look up fill out the form?
          • 8ight, on 04/05/2008, -0/+6I was greatful for the zip and area codes. The name generator was a nice addition. Correct zip/area codes help ensure your vote will be counted. And he wasn't explaining to _us_ what a Rick Roll is. Cheer up mydigga.
      • xptoast, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2I can modify my google adwords ad to link to instructions on how to do this if you think that might be funny. What keywords would we use though?
      • mbonnin, on 04/04/2008, -3/+29Dugg down for calling Never Gonna Give You Up a "***** lame song".
        • mraustin1337, on 04/04/2008, -2/+6Same here.
        • mrbradg, on 04/05/2008, -0/+4I agree but I thank him for explaining this whole thing. I had no clue. Digg me down I don't care. Been busy at work.
      • sdix00, on 04/07/2008, -0/+0Clicked on the link and it says "Thanks for voting". Is the voting closed or r i rtard?
    • coachmcguirk, on 04/04/2008, -16/+4Actually, the Mets are a sports team, not a city...
      don't mean to nitpick, but there is kind of a big difference...
      • seventoes, on 04/04/2008, -0/+36What are you talking about? I live in the Mets.
      • foofightrs777, on 04/04/2008, -2/+3I live in the NY METropolitan area. So the OP wasn't too far off actually.
        • coachmcguirk, on 04/04/2008, -6/+2That is not who is going to be potentially rick rolled, though.
          This isn't an attempt to rick roll the NY METropolitan area, it's an attempt to rick roll those attending NY Mets sporting events.
    • drizzlelicious, on 04/04/2008, -1/+8 Your vote has been cast! Thank you for participating.

      We look forward to seeing you during
      the historic final season at Shea!
    • GregFD3S, on 04/04/2008, -1/+8If only we could do this to the Dodgers too!!

          Not necessarily in skill level, but in overall awesomeness.
        • GregFD3S, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2^^ Well... at least this year.
    • mrlivingston, on 04/04/2008, -0/+15I'm a lifelong Mets fan...and I endorse this message!
    • RobotChicken1, on 04/04/2008, -16/+1You guys realize this was a hit song in the 80s... right?
    • buryyourhead, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7Rusty Shackleford has voted...and has also just ordered a pizza.
    • heypetray, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2I would hope they wouldn't discard out of state votes. That would be lame whenit's a national level team.
    • nite002, on 04/04/2008, -12/+1Who the ***** is Rick Roll?
      • theaceoffire, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5You don't know? Well, even so, he is never gonna give you up, let you down, turn and desert you.
      • t0ken, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3All I have to say is http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI
      • ophello, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1welcome to the internet, loser.
      • GregFD3S, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1Wow, welcome to the internets.
      • notanidiot, on 04/06/2008, -0/+1Here dude, I'll explain it. Rick Roll is a big round ball shaped dude that rolls around causing mischief. One of the things he does to people all the time is surprise them by making them listen to or see the Rick Astley song, 'Never Gonna Give You Up." Its funny, because everyone has heard the song, but noone realizes the dude is a nerdy little white guy, who dances like a fag. So it kind of ruins the song for everyone, and at the same time repopularizes it.

        Actually, according to wikipedia (shut up, haters, I believe the wiki on this one), the process was originally called duckrolling, and you used to post a fake link to something, and people would click on it expecting to see some information pertaining to the discussion, but would instead be linked to a picture of a duck on wheels, hence the name "Duckrolling."

        Now its called "Rickrolling" because people do the same thing, just with the Rick Astley video, instead of the duck on wheels.
    • rossnyc, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4I get Rick Rolled enough...what's another 5 times when I go to a Mets game?

      • notanidiot, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2Other than Ron Paul winning the prehehesidehency, aaaahhahahaha! Its too funny!
    • klipseracer, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9This was already done at Key Arena for the seattle super sonics. I cast my vote anyway because it was really funny. I realize its basketball and not baseball, but here's the halftime show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
    • worlin, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1Is there any place that says what song is winning the vote?
    • worlin, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Results! http://digg.com/baseball/Runoff_to_determine_Mets_ ...
    • Scarsraider, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1I was just rick rolled watching the game!
  • liamfly, on 04/04/2008, -7/+1573Enter "Other" : "Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley"

    We should all use that same formatting, just to be sure.
    • wageslaven, on 04/04/2008, -4/+92Agreed and done.
    • displacednomad, on 04/04/2008, -0/+40done and done
    • DarkNekura, on 04/04/2008, -0/+42Copy, pasted, done and Dugg. Let's do this thing.
    • goomba323, on 04/04/2008, -0/+13Done.
    • weeeezzll, on 04/04/2008, -0/+45use 111xx for your zip code. so they don't ignore all non-New Yorkers....
      • Forsakenmantra, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Just 11xxx will suffice :D
      • davidrools, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8and a (718) area code phone #
      • secleinteer, on 04/05/2008, -0/+3Or 347 if you choose mobile phone, since most cellphones are in that area code (according to Wiki, don't kill me if it's wrong).
    • sibernetik, on 04/04/2008, -2/+2Done.
    • dhess, on 04/04/2008, -2/+21Done. This really is a fitting song, seeing as how this is their last season at Shea Stadium... Never gonna give it up, though the Mets often let everyone down.
    • MetaMars, on 04/04/2008, -2/+2Done.
    • BigLLamasHouse, on 04/04/2008, -0/+33Someone somewhere in the Mets organization is getting a pat on the back for their idea to put the sing-a-long vote on the website. "Wow James, great job. We never thought we would have this kind of response."
    • chanop, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10Made it to top of top ten in under an hour, the mets are gonna be pissed
    • GliTCH82, on 04/04/2008, -0/+25I remember back when this mob used to do good things, like fighting the good fight against can.... oh, hell, it's a ***** Rick Roll, I'm in.
    • Johntp, on 04/04/2008, -0/+3I'm in
    • ShinMoses, on 04/04/2008, -4/+3Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

      Done and Dugg
      • jayobear, on 04/07/2008, -0/+1Thank the lord you told me the song, I never would have guessed. Bless you!
    • Kardall, on 04/04/2008, -1/+2Absolutely, done twice, once from work and one from home. GO ASTLEY GO!!!!!! If you know what _DAY_ this will be on TV PM me, cause I want to see if they air it, and I will record it and put it on youtube (someone probably will anyway)...
    • anchorman, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Thank you for the copy and paste ease. I'm a very lazy person... but I can copy and paste.
    • bernlin2000, on 04/04/2008, -1/+1Will do...
    • Niels, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2Done and Done

    • lukemandese, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1Done?
    • Hoogs, on 04/05/2008, -1/+4Done. This could be epic guys, we should get 4chan on this.
    • vladin, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1I'm in.. Can't wait for the YouTube vid..
    • godfa7h3r, on 04/05/2008, -0/+6I have never been to Shea Stadium, will probably never go, and I honestly don't really like the Mets. But I really want to say I was apart of this.

      VOTED!
    • DemonWasp, on 04/05/2008, -4/+2Hmmm... I nearly (98%) finished a program to submit votes in favour of the Great Rick Astley using random names (from the website noted in other comments), before realizing just how unethical it would be to use a program to submit dozens of a votes a second.

      I was going to post it, too, until I realized that's probably something like incitement. Dammit, stupid laws, I just wanted to rickroll several hundred thousand people!
    • swern425, on 04/05/2008, -3/+1Done. Go Phils!
    • asurroca, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2Done! Copypasta'd... even put my real info there too... I wish they called me so I could make up a convincing story as to why Never Gonna Give You Up is the best song they could play this season...
    • cruzer2727, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2Done! Pass it on diggers.
    • donkeyshow, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2done, i wish there was a live results section, would like to see how we are doing.
    • billski, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1Dugg and Dugg
    • DjRivas, on 04/05/2008, -1/+1Too late i did it the opposite way then i came back and read the comments....I'm ashamed
    • mcgnuff, on 04/06/2008, -2/+0http://digg.com/baseball/Rick_Roll_The_Mets
  • Slainna, on 04/04/2008, -14/+121Voted. lol I'm so digging this.
    • aceakm, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2But I like "Land Of 1000 Dances"... :(
    • IAmTomCruise, on 04/04/2008, -2/+0 Your vote has been cast! Thank you for participating.

      We look forward to seeing you during

    • 10GunSalute, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1DON'T MESS WITH BASEBALL.
    • Eucolastic, on 04/05/2008, -0/+0LOL RICK "BOWL"
  • thecheat1, on 04/04/2008, -9/+185Voted, hope to God this works out.

    Also used "Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley" in "Other"
    • CrazyDEX, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4We'll have to teach Cow Bell Man how to play it
    • XombieRobot, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4I hope this doesn't die off once it leaves the front page. Any suggestions to keep it alive?
      • XristosAnesti, on 04/05/2008, -0/+7Resubmit every time it leaves the front page, and get it dugg up again...continuously for the next three days!
        • Pritchard, on 04/05/2008, -0/+4I, as a Digg user, shall permit this to occur until we win.
        • iNunchuk, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1I second that notion, anyone resubmit the article yet?
    • tetfsu, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1If this works it will be awesome, but I have a feeling that the sudden number of votes for Rick is going to set-off some alarms and they'll disqualify all votes for it, even though it is truely the will of the people to have Rick sing in the 8th. We'll all wait and see.
  • ifoundthetao, on 04/04/2008, -61/+7Man, I hope this goes though. The funny part about it, will be that it will be so unfunny later on when it gets adopted as part of the show and the rickroll gets forgotten. (:
    • daRoach, on 04/04/2008, -4/+24Thumbs down for not understanding the concept of irony.
    • BigLLamasHouse, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7yeah dude, thatll still be funny in my book
  • Dr00pieS, on 04/04/2008, -10/+112Voted. At least this way, the Met's will get some sort of press.
    • Cronikeys, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9I can see the headlines now: "Fans sing 'Never Gonna Give You Up' as they say goodbye to Shea Stadium. Some teams still know how sing-a-longs are done."
    • sloppychris, on 04/04/2008, -3/+2The Mets see more coverage than 95% of the rest of the league. Don't feel too sorry for yourself.
    • sgtbutterscotch, on 04/04/2008, -0/+17Yeah because the Mets didn't get any press with the acquisition of Johan Santana. I bet you and anyone who dugg you up doesn't know anything about baseball. But that's ok, we're all here for one purpose: to pull off the greatest RickRoll to date. Can we just do that without make snarky, uninformed comments? No? Alright, guess I can live with that.
    • headphonz, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Oh my God, just the idea of the whole stadium getting up, gyrating, and everyone singing "never gonna give u up, never gonna let you down" just makes me cry with laughter!

      After the 10th time, the whole stadium will be cheering before the song even comes on. There'll be a stampede as fans run back to their seats from the bathroom just to sing along!
      • getisboy, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1That's how it is in Boston with Sweet Caroline
  • ostracize, on 04/04/2008, -2/+194It fits the theme too. The final season at Shea Stadium and everybody's singing "Never gonna give you up!"
  • dinobot, on 04/04/2008, -3/+43I was hoping more people would digg this up. I already casted my vote, and fark is using their own base of users to do the same. I wish I wasn't at work so I could see if 4chan is doing its thing as well.
    • HiKevinRose, on 04/04/2008, -4/+18Cast works as past tense. "The fisherman cast the line." No ed ending required.
    • sparrowkc, on 04/04/2008, -0/+1There was a thread on there, it might be dead though.
    • Slainna, on 04/04/2008, -3/+4I saw a thread on 4chan yesterday that was actually doing pretty well on this
      • HawkeyeMatt, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Slainna is correct, it's great seeing both sites doing this though!
  • LewP, on 04/04/2008, -6/+11Darn, I wished I had thought of this idea for my sorry Texas Rangers..lmao

      631 and 516 are LI area codes. 11787, 11767, 11777 :D lots of 7's

      • OneLess, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5You don't think that hundreds to thousands of people submitting the same song in exactly the same format is going to tip them off a bit?
        • Whaines, on 04/04/2008, -1/+2Tip them off that the majority of people want that song? Which, by the way, is the point of this poll.
          • OneLess, on 04/05/2008, -0/+1Tip them off that it's not Mets fans who are voting for this song.

      • ligyron, on 04/04/2008, -0/+11I use that one everywhere, just because it's the only real US zip code I know. Random numbers don't usually work
        • IncogMosqui, on 04/04/2008, -3/+1thats funny, because it isn't a real zip code.

          The zip code for WeHo is 90212

    • BeSublime, on 04/04/2008, -1/+4It would probably work out best to have 20-30% outside of NY zip codes, so it will look normal statistically...
    • MasterSpy, on 04/04/2008, -0/+0The traffic will look suspicious if most of the requests are not from New York. The varied codes will work well. Will the Mets catch onto this? Even if they do catch onto this then what can they do to stop it [rhetorical]?
    • spydirweb, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2Your logic then dictates that the Mets have absolutely 0 (zero) fans outside of the the Queens area. I mean, personally I'm a bosox fan but that does that mean I live in Boston exclusively?
    • defy, on 04/04/2008, -0/+111232 also works.
    • unfinite, on 04/04/2008, -0/+2I used the UN phone number and area code. The UN loves baseball, I think it sucks. Knowing that I played a part in this, when it gets put up on youtube, will make me happy.

    • antiorblkflag9, on 04/05/2008, -1/+2What happens when more people vote then there are in the Mets's area?
      • chlupululuu, on 04/05/2008, -0/+2 the mets are in new york... digg and the other sites doing this combined probably dont have enough people for that to happen, you would need like 9 million people to vote

    • toejamz, on 04/04/2008, -10/+1Interesting, how "Rick Roll" has taken a life of its own completely outside its original association with Anonymous vs. Scientology.

      "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down" is a reference to Lisa McPherson who died while under the care of Scientology's "Introspection Rundown", as in WE aren't going to let her down...

      Strange how these things happen...
      • choopie911, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9Uh... You think the rick roll started with anon vs scientology? You sir are talking out of your ass, and clearly don't have a clue what this is about...

      • DarkReign16, on 04/04/2008, -5/+4That's because you suck dog balls.
      • Stavrosian, on 04/05/2008, -1/+0You're doing it wrong. The phrase is "stupid trend is stupid," you n00b. Every time you fail to RickRoll god kills a Domo Kun, etc.
