uhhhh, that is not english
"Mom" is not a word
"Mum" is.

I'll give a shit when you can actually put together a sentence.

You're joking right? Please, tell me you're joking. Either that, or you're a moron, so what's it going to be?

I'm joking. Hence the stupid little emoticon.

Why is it funny? I seriously don't get it. It's a weird song that's not even funny.

I found it hilarious, but Rick Rolling wasn't as overplayed for me as it was for others either. My sister and I were laughing about it the whole day.

yes i am joking! because the first guy used the sentance "Mom got presents for my sister and I." as an example of propper english when Mom is an incorrectly spelt Mum.

Bah, you're not even paying attention. It was specifically an example of over-correction -- in other words, mistaken usage. "I" should be "me," because in that sentence it's a direct object, not a subject. You wouldn't say "He sent a letter to I," would you?

And, really, my gripe isn't about what's "proper." I don't mind colloquialisms or neologisms. My gripe is that over-correction is a sign that you're trying to sound "proper" and educated but you don't know enough to get it right, which makes you look like a twat.

Rickrolling definitely is vastly overplayed.

Still, that event probably doubled the number of people who have ever been rickrolled (if you count that as a legitimate rickroll). That's an accomplishment.

Also, rickrolling is now pretty much officially passée. That is also an accomplishment.

Don't forget: "Whom should I say called?" An immediate sign that not only is the speaker one of the 95% of people who don't know how to use whom, but that they are also part of a much smaller subset that thinks people care.

Personally I've grown rather bored of this whole "Rick-roll" nonsense. To me all I see is someone wasting my time when I could be looking at something interesting. This is almost as stupid as that annoying "Mudkipz" crap or the ever annoying "Whole stole my bukkit" bullshit.

To those who endorse this horrible juvenile rubbish, do us all a favour and grow up. The internet and life is not for quite frankly (and i'm surprised that it's me saying this) childish and immature behaviour. Instead it is for cake and pornography.

Everyone loves one or the other and sometimes both. But never at the same time! Ther emust always be a hand free... x)
