For the uninitiated, Rickrolling, according to Wikipedia, is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch; a person provides a hyperlink which is seemingly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually leads to Astley's video.

By now you must be wondering, "How is this even a rickroll? Why did you show a photograph of people on the MRT with the heads cropped out?"

Well, thanks to Hardwarezone user jaslyn. who started the thread "[GPGT] kena Rick-rolled on the train today", we have an answer for you:

By the way, please do not complain that the recruit is sitting down on the train. The Reserved Seat is empty so he is not really hogging his seat.

Happy Saturday everybody!
