The Rickroll to End All Rickrolls

Sort:
Avatar of EscherehcsE

I was just skimming the latest show notes for Steve Gibson's "Security Now" podcast (which will air later tonight on YouTube and the TWIT channel), and what did I see? A detailed discussion of "Minh Duong's Epic Rickroll". I haven't read the whole article yet, but I just had to share it immediately.

Steve's pdf show notes contains a link to Minh's blog, and the blog has a video link showing someone's smart phone video of the actual rickroll being perpetrated in a classroom. (Well, let's just say a few classrooms, lol.) Enjoy.

I eat plain sliced bread as a snack irl. Yesterday night I wanted to make a PB&J when I had no bread left…..so I just ate straight up peanut butter and jelly on a plate with no bread, with a fork.

I'm sure it's better with bread. Anywhoo, I'm on keto, so I can't have bread or jelly or peanut butter, so I won't be trying either method. :-)

Geez. Look up Steve Gibson (the programmer) on Wikipedia. Go to his web site. Click on the Services tab, then "Security Now!". You'll see the show notes posted there.

The one funny thing about the Wikipedia page is that it states Steve's middle name is Tiberius, which isn't true. That's actually a running gag between the host Leo Laporte and Steve. Apparently someone who edited the Wiki page didn't get the joke.

OK, guys - The "Security Now" episode 841 has been uploaded to YouTube. I won't bother posting the YouTube link, because you wouldn't click on it anyway. :-)

Go to YouTube and search for "Security Now". It's the newest one (#841). The show notes are in the notes below the video. You can watch the video and/or read the show notes. The rickroll story starts at 1:25:35 in the video (1 hour, 25 minutes, 35 seconds).

For anyone brave (foolish?) enough to click on the link(s), here's a link to the TWIT (This Week In Tech) page for Security Now #841: https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/841?autostart=false

And here's the YouTube link for the same video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31qFKpIhB5A

 

And if you're still not convinced, just google "Minh Duong's Epic Rickroll". You'll find links from iheart, threatpost, msn, boingboing, etc...
