1. Pick some friends that you like
2. Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
3. Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
4. Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
5. Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them

Fascinating

I keep hearing it’s much worse than it used to be, profits regardless
