First, read this article.

Congratulations, you’ve just been rickrolled! Wikipedia defines rickrolling as:

a classic bait and switch: a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Rick Astley video… A person who falls for the prank is said to be “rickrolled”.

For those of you who were too blasé to click on the link, here’s the Rick Astley video:

After the big screen at a Mets game was rickrolled earlier this month, the polling firm SurveyUSA (which has done an excellent job calling the primaries this year) decided to find out just how many people have been rickrolled. It turns out that about 6% of Americans – or about 18 million people – responded that they have been rickrolled at some point. And because SurveyUSA provides free access to their poll data, here are some demographic factoids:

• Men are 3% more likely to be rickrolled than women.
• African Americans are 3% more likely to be rickrolled than white people.
• Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to be rickrolled, but Independents have a 2% higher Rate-of-Rickroll (take that, Lou Dobbs!)
• People who identify as liberals get rickrolled 2% less than those who identify as conservatives (because we are awesome).
