Down with this sort of thing

careful now.

That REALLY makes me wish I'd not been too hungover to get our of bed before 11 remembered to set my alarm early enough to go to the anti-scientology demo yesterday.

They rickrolled¹ The scientologists.

It was like the internet made physical, but for a good cause...

I'm SO going to the next one, with this banner:

Nice try...you almost got me.

BTW, I just lost the game.

Looks great, doesn't it!!

Mark's been on about it for ages, we just ended up drinking too much the night before to cope with an early start. We're bad.

Mark HATES scientology!

Haha, me too! Thank god for that little preview window... ;-)

Quite right too. Scientologists are a bunch of scary, scary fuckers.

"What's that you say, you don't like our 'religion'? In that case, we're going to stalk you, harrass you & your friends & family, and personally & professionally discredit you, destroying your entire life in the process. How do you like them apples?

P.S. L.Ron is great."

I'll rickroll you some day... and your little dog too!!!

First time I was rickrolled, I laughed so hard it hurt.

But you know what it is!

I wasn't really on board with this before, but looking at Noodle's photos last night (he had like 400+) it all looked so cool and creative. if only all protestors were so mature and and like this, I'm sure protests would have more weight.

I know, but I'm ill and my brain is mushy!

It is very, very funny. But I got rickrolled at work. Kinda embarrassing... :-)

This is why my speakers are always off by default ;)

Nonononono, that's L. Ron Smith...

Funny thing is, when I typed 'elrond' into my google toolbar to find an image, the top suggestion on the drop down thingummah was 'elrond hubbard'.

Further investigation reveals this:



which just works on so many levels:D

Yep, certainly does! :D

somethingawful.com...

Many things of great win spawn from somethingawful. And many things of eyebleeding wrong, also.

Something awful were very much involved in the march, so it all makes some sort of sense, in an internet sort of way.

I think that's the first time any regular contributors to 4chan or somethingawful have been called 'mature'...
