Obama names running mate

And it ain't Joe Biden, bitches:
In front of a cheering crowd as well as in a text message to over three million anxious supporters, U.S. senator and prospective Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama declared to the world that he had selected 1980's pop musician Rick Astley to be his vice-presidential running mate.

"And now, America, what you've all been waiting to hear!" shouted the junior senator from the state of Illinois, as an American-flag-decorated curtain dropped behind Mr. Obama, immediately followed by the familiar opening drum beats and funk synthesizer chords of Astley's 1987 hit single, "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Pumping his fists downward in a striking motion as he spoke, Mr. Obama continued, "You just got Rickrolled, America!"
Some guy with a website, specifically August J. Pollak, has the exclusive story.

I think this bizarre trend has gone on long enough. It's for some meta; when you get Rickrolled, you then get automatically directed to a clip of a Bush press conference.
