rickmob, the first strike
Some of you may know. Some may not. There this new thing called the rick roll. Um, actually it’s not SO new but not everyone knows about it. If you want to know what it is, click here. I promise it’s nothing like goatse. For more info there is a wikipedia article too.
Yesterday was the first rickmob in the world. It was organised via facebook and took place at 6pm at the Liverpool Street station in London. Around 400 people took part and all the video evidence on YouTube suggests it was hilarious! I’d love to have been there! If you don’t get it, think flashmob + rick roll.
Have a look at what went down (via whatleydude):
And of course the remix:
The BBC reported the event and everyone so far says it was a minor disturbance and there were no problems. The crowd showed up, counted down based on the clock on the departures board, sung and cleared out as soon as they were done singing.
Awesome right? haha! I’m such a geek and apparently not the only one…!

Meesh said:Wow, that’s got to be one of the strangest things I’ve seen (or it comes damn close, cuz that’s another story). I heard of the term “rickroll or rickmob” and I was like WTH??
Now, with your help, I know. Thanks Colin! :roll:

Colin Brooks said:Meesh :: Ooooo yeah! I snort. When I laugh to hard I SNORT. Which only makes me laugh harder and gets everyone in a 1mile radius laughing as well… It’s embarrassing.
Kentucky Girl said:Dood. Mr. Bean = unfunny. Sorry. LOL But you have given us some funny things.
