Rick rolling goes stellar for April Fools Day

I’m looking forward to spotting the online April Fools which crop up tomorrow, a favourite offline press tradition – check out the Telegraph’s top ten – that suits the blogosphere to a tee.

It seems timely that a great contender for cult web prank status – rick rolling – has recently hit the papers on both sides of the pond. The Guardian’s coverage a few weeks ago highlighting the bizarrely Scientology-battling power of this web in-joke.

The harmless fun of linking a random word within a post to a moment of perfect 80s Astley cheese has recently gone stellar as a trend – wouldn’t we all like to see traffic graphs like that! Who says the web’s full of people with too much time on their hands!
