Boston's Craigslist Gets Rickrolled

040208-rick-astley.jpgThere's been a wave of rickrolling, or sightings of Rick Astley's infamous song "Never Gonna Give You Up," and the wave has hit Boston's craigslist. Via b0st0n livejournal, a craigslist poster declared the following:

You were the brown eyed girl whom I was flirting with last night at the beautiful establishment known as The Estate.

I am no stranger to love. Hopefully you know the rules because so do I! I feel commitment is what I am thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy. I just want to tell you how I'm feeling, gotta make you understand. I'm never going to give you up, never going to let you down, never going to run around and desert you. Never going to make you cry, never going to say goodbye, never going to tell a lie and hurt you.

The best jokes have a grain of truth, and any of those lines could have been spoken at The Estate.

We also heard that Scientology protesters are in the habit of rickrolling the object of their non-affection. Was Rick Astley's song played at any of the local anti-Scientology demonstrations?

Screengrab of Rick Astley totally not giving you up from the craig.
