I was going to write a tedious rant about how people hate other people and how cigarettes are awesome because they kill you, but I thought it would be prudent and less shit to have some lulz. A corruption of LOL. Which stands for Laugh out Loud.
PRESENTING!
Rick Astley is a cult internet phenomenon. Everyone's been rick rolled. If you haven't yet, you're either over 40 or living in Sierra Leone. Bill Hicks in his masterful Half-Sane pilloried Astley for being a general jackass and complete wanker. Here's what Astley would send to Mr. Hicks if his tarred lungs didn't give out on him:
The truth hurts. So does this:From: Rick Astley
To: Bill Hicks
Subject: FunnyHey Bill, hope you're well. I've almost forgiven you for calling me all those horrible names you did in that video. It's funny because even though my video is a source of derision, it does generate a lot of laughs - more laughs in a shorter length of time than you ever got in your entire career, and i'm not even a professional comedian! And I didn't have to do shit!
Your pal,
Rick "Roll'd" Astley

They've only released the same movie about 15 times already, who is realistically going to notice now?

Here's another one that I think would be quite appropriate
From: Endemol Southern Star Productions
To: The four remaining Big Brother viewers
Subject: Why Bother?We were going to write a letter to make fun of your incalculable idiocy, then we figured you wouldn't be able to read it.
And I'm out. Stay tuned!
