- TheElusiveTool, on 01/13/2008, -13/+326Here is a video of Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - Henko, on 01/13/2008, -7/+315I think it's awesome he's making an effort. Why the condescending tone? You do know that's an existing book right, meant to teach people who don't know a word of arabic?
- MrBabyMan, on 01/13/2008, -4/+158Dugg for total upfront honesty.
- XTCinOvaltine, on 01/13/2008, -5/+136Damn you...Rick Rolled again

- stonebear, on 01/13/2008, -24/+88He wouldn't have to, had they not discharged his interpreter for being Gay.
- Akaji, on 01/13/2008, -2/+63Only truly dumb people don't know that the "for Dummies" line of books is actually NOT for dummies.
- JustinDevine, on 01/13/2008, -1/+54Dude screw that. At least he's making an effort is right. Has the piling on gone so far that we can insult soldiers who are doing what is essentially the right thing? yeah the hell with those soldiers for not being born multilingual... those warmongers....

- Elektriq, on 01/13/2008, -4/+46Everything is an insult in Arab culture...
- A5204, on 08/13/2009, -1/+40I really see nothing wrong with this picture. Good for him for at least making the effort, I'm sure a lot of them don't.
- nphase, on 01/13/2008, -3/+42But the webserver clearly isn't.
- matu4251, on 01/13/2008, -0/+34Yeah, cause clearly in the past people weren't :)
- LuckyASN, on 01/13/2008, -2/+36You just insulted the Arab culture...
- brianbb98, on 01/13/2008, -6/+37I dont know how to use the reply button.
- the42nddegree, on 01/13/2008, -1/+29I had to click it...what if it WASN'T a rickroll? Like some sort of...'reverse rickroll'...
- iDiggIt42, on 01/13/2008, -2/+30Sorry for the comment abuse guys, but since the server appears to have given up on trying, here's a mirror:

- Akaji, on 01/13/2008, -2/+26Don't quit your day job... you fail miserably at parody.
- DeadFox1, on 01/13/2008, -4/+28normally, I see the uuIU and skip over it, but this time, due to your honesty, I clicked it and got rick rolled. nice job, JERK! ;)
- m4dp1x3l, on 01/13/2008, -1/+19Mirror 2 (in case mirror 1 dies): http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/6890/a4drn7.jpg
- iDiggIt42, on 01/13/2008, -2/+19Yeah, that whole slavery thing was a complete accident, I swear!
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+17Oh, I TOTALLY got that.
- bigtallmofo, on 01/13/2008, -12/+28What a waste of time. He's reading an "Arabic for Dummies Book". Frickin' hilarious. Ha ha ha. Oh my god, I won't be able to sleep now this article is so funny.
- Heymann, on 01/13/2008, -11/+25Why are people so racist these days??
- TomRemixed, on 01/13/2008, -5/+19That's awesome.
- diversionmary, on 01/13/2008, -0/+13♪♫fabulous!♫♪
- lava, on 01/13/2008, -3/+14Yeah, I got started with computers reading DOS for Dummies. I later ended up at MIT.
- phibit, on 01/13/2008, -0/+10Yeah I really don't see how that's cause for laughing at him. That seems like an honest way to actually learn Arabic.
- mastaphoo, on 01/13/2008, -2/+11no zing, please. if you have to say zing, you obviously don't deserve zing.
- kerunt, on 01/13/2008, -1/+10I think you meant:
"______ for Dummies is a terrible introduction to ______ " - bonyicecream, on 01/13/2008, -0/+8you can change the default in your profile. It isn't hidden by default for a lot of people.
- padrebuf, on 01/13/2008, -12/+20it is great. i didn't pick up a condescending tone, though.
- Namco, on 01/13/2008, -0/+8.... but his pants and face are in focus. Don't you know how cameras work?
- RooDoG, on 01/13/2008, -1/+9And downed servers
- iDiggIt42, on 01/13/2008, -5/+13You know the rules, and so do I.
- diversionmary, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7Rick roll is when you trick someone into watching Rick Astley performing 'Never gonna give you up' via video, animooted gif or some other type of hijinxery. It really only matters if you're trying not to get rickrolled.
- zaxang, on 01/13/2008, -2/+9And exactly how is this racist?
Let's see...
White person learning Arabic. Racist? Hmm... nope.
Soldier learning Arabic. Racist? Nope.
No dice. - jonahatan, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7I gave a female Mexican friend who's seriously dating one of my Dutch male friends the book Dutch for Dummies and according to her this book is a great way to start picking up a language from the start. I do respect the effort of this soldier learning Arabic, but don't see any joke here either...
- ExBuM, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7He looks like George Clooney
- DrAcUlA212, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7ZING!
- redxii, on 01/13/2008, -2/+9If it takes more than a century to load it shouldn't be considered a mirror.
- rxbudian, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7kudos for him. I would say he's trying to get better that would reduce the chance of him getting killed AND higher chance of being closer to the community. It's strange that someone who's trying to be better has a negative connotation.
- FunkyNuts, on 01/13/2008, -1/+7And inside that porno he'll find a picture of your mother doing donkey shows in Tijuana.
- arkanebeats, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6you just blew my mind
- cbartlett, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6You're unable to spell.
- fuzzmeister, on 01/13/2008, -1/+6I apparently needed a /sarc tag...
- TheAmbushAhead, on 01/13/2008, -1/+6It's a US soldier reading the "Arabic for Dummies" book. Not really that funny, he's trying more than most soldiers.
- pyro789x, on 01/13/2008, -0/+5I also started with the for dummies books, but mine was C++ for dummies.
- mattr12345, on 01/13/2008, -2/+7err there is no "american" or "arabic" race dumbass - google: anthropology....
