OMG. The tears were streaming down my face. That green and blue screens of death behind McCain at the convention have provided video editing wizards with choice material to work with.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Too funny. I was trying to explain rickrolling to one of the older women in my office. She didn’t quite get why it was funny. She’s a huge Obama supporter. I think she’ll get it now.
I laughed so loud I scared the cat!!!!
Whose brilliant idea WAS it to make the backdrops so irresistibly ripe for image manipulation?
I mean, blue and green screens? Is the McCain Campaign staffed by devotees of SomethingAwful and 4Chan?
That’s some grade A magnifitude. If only all politics pisstake youtube clips were like this.
OMG. This election is so much fun. Thank you, John McCain.
That was fun!
Usually I hope that 4chan and SomethingAwful are swallowed by a gaping maw in the earth. But today, they have shown us the way to the Promised Land.
I watched McCain’s speech after watching an episode of the Colbert Report that included a green screen challenge for McCain. I thought those backgrounds were asking for it. And this is brilliant.
That was so funny I think I’m going to hell for watching it!
It’s a simple 3-step process:
1.) Barack Obama is popular amongst Teh Youths, many of whom are good with computers and image manipulation. [A few are also shameless little bastards.]
2.) McCain gives a speech in front of a mostly blue and green screen
3.) Hilarity Ensues
God, that shouldn’t have been as gratifying as it was.
I thought Obama was trying to Rickroll us ... there was some part of one of his speeches where I wondered if he was going to just put it all together and get it over with!
4.) ???
5.) Profit!
Man, I’d still pay to have Obama rickroll people. It would make this election seriously awesome.
I absolutely loved that...bet they Republicans will think twice about the screens they use next time.
My sister’s boyfriend’s ring tone is the rickroll - I think he should change it to this.
Hahaha, oh lords that’s fantastic.
That is so full of win I think it might explode.
