Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Gets Rickrolled
Is this the first nation-wide Rickroll? Never let it be said again that the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is out of touch — this morning the Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends float surprised, well, the entire nation with Never Gonna Give You Up and the ACTUAL Rick Astley, for the first time (as far as I know) complicit in a live Rickroll.

Never will I say an unkind word about Foster’s Home again…or at least, I will try not to. I’m so proud of them and of Rick!

Here’s a question: if you’re going to lipsync, and it’s obvious you’re lipsyncing, and everyone knows you’re lipsyncing, why bother with the mic? This isn’t just a question for Rick but for most of these parade float “singers”.
