Rick Roll

As many of you already know, we're not the biggest fans of the New York Times. In fact, when it comes to good journalism, they rank fairly low on our list of sources to consult.

Which is why we like it whenever they make a mistake. It's juvenile, to be sure, but we can't help but laugh when they screw up.


With that in mind, you can imagine our glee at discovering the Times' latest goof. Evidently, the Times' ever cautious, ever careful, ever checking all the facts before reporting writers got punked by a couple of undergrads, when the NY Times reported on a current internet phenomenon called rickrolling. Turns out, it was the Times who got rickrolled.

You can watch an explanation of the phenomenon here.
