    Vote Rick!

     

    He Never Gave Us Up... Don't Let Him Down.

    As you may or may not be aware, the infamous Rick Astley, of RickRoll fame, is nominated for 'Best Act Ever' for 'MTV's European Music Awards 2008'.

    While Rick made it through the nominations round by write in, he needs our help to win the award (also determined by online vote).

    To vote for Rick in the 'Best Act Ever' category click here

    Interestingly enough, MTV decided to allow a user to vote as many times as they desire.

    MTV:
    Thanks for Voting!

    Vote again to make sure your favorite wins.

    This has played into the hands of the ingenuity and passion of Rick's large internet fanbase. If voting manually starts to hurt your click finger there are other options available to you. 

    The current best option is known as the 'iMacro Method'.

    The 'iMacro Method' involves using the FireFox addon 'iMacro'. It is quite simple and essentially loops the process of voting for you.

    To get directions for setup and running of iMacro click here

    >Choose 'iMacro Method' under 'Voting Methods' to the right.

    This method allows you to 'show your support' for Rick tens of thousands of time a day. Wink

    MTV:
    We’ve been “Rickrolled!” - 10/01/2008

    Over twenty years after his hit single went to No. 1 in 16 countries, 80s pop star Rick Astley has been nominated in the category Best Act Ever as his fans take his hit single ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ literally and flock to write-in his name as a nominee.

    Rick Astley – in his first ever nomination in the history of the MTV Europe Music Awards – will compete against Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Tokio Hotel and U2 for Best Act Ever

    Alternativly to the 'iMacro Method' is the abilty to run the webbased 'RickVoter' from your browser. A long as the window is open, 'RickVoter' will attempt to vote for you.

    To run the webbased RickVoter click here

    Richard Godfrey, Executive Producer, MTV Europe Music Awards:
    The audience has spoken and MTV has been well and truly Rickrolled

    What does Rick have to say on being nominated for 'Best Act Ever'?

    Rick Astley:
    To be honest, I think someone is having a wind up is the absolute truth of it.

    The second most important election you will participate in this fall... Make your vote count.

    Applause

    dang it...

     

    rickrolled again...


    Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers
    grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the
    fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own
    image as promised by the
    sacred words, and spoke
    of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was
    naught but a follower.
