If you thought the links you followed here — or on any other part of this site — might take you to someone crooning about how they're never gonna give you up, would you click on them? Nope. Even though the "cost" is small — you can hit the back button as soon as the <A href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/youtube" linkindex="38">YouTube</A> title comes up — the price to the rickroller is high. To those who are rickrolled, their tormentor becomes briefly the electric fence between them and the net.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B6DD5D18-BD39-4DFE-ACF4-15755D440670/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
