rick roll

Always looking for something to protest, members of the simply awful Westboro Baptist Church lined up outside of a Foo Fighters concerts in Kansas City, MO Aug. 22.

They didn't exactly say what their specific problem was, but they generally hate just about everything, so the Foo Fighters worked for an opportunity to test out their hateful signage.

Dave Grohl and company decided not to take it sitting down.

Well, they stayed seated, but the band members brought out a rather loud sound system and drowned out the jeers of the protesters with the sweet sounds of Rick Astley.

The Foo Fighters came out to counter protest Westboro Baptist Church by Rick rolling them. IT WAS RAD. #foofighters #davegrohl

And all praise be to this guy:

And after that, we're sure Dave Grohl retreated to the comfort of his incredible rock star tour throne.

A physics student has recharged an old meme when he Rickrolled his teacher in a scholarly fashion by cleverly inserting every lyric to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up into the margin of an essay.

Just composing an assessment on the influence of Danish scientist Niels Bohr on the theory of quantum physics would be challenging enough, let alone strategizing the presumably pain-staking process of laying out this massive prank.
