kevin Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You can bet that this was a plot from people online to get the greatest ever Rick Roll... 4chan or something?Yep. They wrote computer programs to spoof your location and to multivote fast. Also he didn't perform, so it was disappointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It has to be said, the choices in most of the categories were shite so I'm perfectly happy for Astley to win it, show the popular music trendies a thing or two I guess. Tbh, it's just plain hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
