It is funny how the M in MTV is supposed to stand for music.

Last time I checked, they were showing "My Sweet 16" and "Sex With Mom and Dad"

Where the hell is the music :-)

An April 2008 poll by SurveyUSA estimated that at least 18 million American adults have been Rickrolled.

Wow, now I don't feel so badly for falling for it.

14 million of them have been Rickrolled by Adam :-)

Whoa, whoa, whoa....don't pick on my guilty pleasure....Sweet 16...I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE THOSE SPOILED KIDS! Okay, I'm just jealous of the just-turned 16-year old snagging the $100k car as their present but getting pi$$ed because it was the wrong one.
