Scientology's Hilarious 'Protest'

Hey, remember how the Philly Church of Scientology -- let's call it the farm system for Clearwater -- scheduled a protest all day on the day of the latest Anonymous protest against Scientology so Anonymous couldn't protest with masks on?

Well, a dude from Anonymous (I guess) contacted me the other day and passed along some hilarious photos of the "protest" that wasn't really a protest at all.

Anyway, there's another protest on May 10, and it naturally involves Battletoads. (Seriously, I am super confused. Next time, can Anonymous reference River City Ransom? I loved that game!) Hopefully, Scientology won't be able to get a permit this time since they only protested (against drugs!) for about an hour and not for the whole day like they said they were going to. Keep on fighting the man, people.

Now Your Parents Know How To Rickroll

Above: A speedy Rickroll for people like me with no attention span.

Yeah, so the New York Times ran an article about Rickrolling, and the Internet exploded. Sorry, I have goo all over me. The lead of the story was about the real life Rickrolling at a basketball game.

Kaboom. If you're unaware of Rickrolling, ED explains it thusly: "To Rickroll is to intentionally misdirect one to a video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" from one-hit-wonder 80's pop icon Rick Astley."

As you may have guessed, the video of real life Rickrolling at the Eastern Washington women's hoops game contains shots of people holding up anti-Scientology posters, because it is from the Internet. Yay Anonymous!
