    The greatest Rickroll in Rickroll history by the man himself.

    Epic beyond reason.

    Fantastic! I love people that can poke fun at themselves.
    Kudos to the Foster people!

    I see it more like this: Has-been Rick Astley is added to the venue and is clearly not worthy of his own personal float, a car or even a golf cart. So what do they do? They just stick him in some random float. I guess they figured that since Foster’s is canceled anyways, no one will care.

    By the way, I nominate Rick for this year’s winner of the “Worst Lip Sync” Award!
