Ok. So I'm riding the train home from the mall today around noon. I'm sitting at the back listening to my iPod when these two dudes come up to me. One was a weird looking black dude and his friend was, what looked to be, a white nerd.
They come up to me, and this is how the conversation goes
White guy: Hey, mannn
Me: ?
Black guy: You like rap?
Me: Uhhh, yeah?
Black guy: Alright, man. You need to check out our mixtape. It's only $1. We're the "Dream Team"
Me: ....
So now I'm interested to see what these clowns are made of. I give them $1 and take the Memorex CD and drop it in my bag.
When I get home I put the CD in my computer and see there is only one 3-minute track. I rip the song onto my computer and play it.
All of the sudden I'm taken over by annoying synthesizers and badly placed drum beats.
"This sounds familiar"
And I hear those haunting words......."We're no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I.."
I realized I just PAID to be Rick Rolled.
