The Great Canadian Modern Warfare 2 Rickroll Caper
Up here in the Amazon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_White_North_(album)] while the other embarked upon a more sinister mission.
The Rickroll itself is remarkably creative; the only downside is the initially tepid response of the victim, who amazingly seems to have no idea who Rick Astley is. On the other hand, there's a certain degree of hilarity in the fact that he appears to genuinely like the song - he lets it play throughout, even as he logs onto Facebook [http://www.facebook.com] to post a complaint about the mixup - leading his friend to make the brilliant comment, "I didn't know you listened to this kind of music. I would've brought over a Huey Lewis and the News CD."
The slow-burn reaction of the disappointed Modern Warfare 2 fan leads me to wonder if perhaps he's a little more "altered" than the beer bottles on the coffee table would suggest. Whatever the case, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in ages: I have to throw a big thumbs-up to the mastermind of the prank, not just for his imagination but for his ability to keep a straight face while telling his friend that it happened to him once too, when he got a copy of PaRappa the Rapper [http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/] on the disc. Well played, sir. Well played.

Friends may not let friends drive drunk, but screwing them around with an elaborate Rickroll involving their new copy of Modern Warfare 2 [http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/]?
