On a semi-related note, if someone (like, me) intentionally Rickrolls himself, does that qualify as a creepy man-crush? Damn, Astley was good.
And on a completely unrelated note, am I the only one that thinks "Seisen! <3" when looking at the official art for the Seima characters that were added in?

At least they have a right to joke about that. :P
Rick Astley himself! What does he think of the Rickrolling Phenominom? Does he appreciate his rekindled fame? Does he give a shit? XD
People forget, he was really dressed up by his record execs to be "clean cut", which explains why he was made to look like Howdy Doody. Even after that, most of his notoriety was based off of "lol he sounds black"; it reminds me of Cecile's mother in Cruel Intentions, who finishes someone else's sentence about Cecile's music teacher; they were talking about the wildly talented man, and that "he's so...", and she finished, horrified, "black!". After that, he left his record company, basically because he was tired of being a caricature, and struck out on his own, even growing his hair out. By then, the white boy baritone gimmick had left the attention span of the public, who were too busy with seminal classics like "Baby Got Back" to care. He's been called a One Hit Wonder (huh?), and now this, as people use this basically to say "lol laugh at this idiot from 1987! That's the year before I was born!"
Fuck, I'm old.
