Game, set and match goes to Rocketboom producer Kenyatta Cheese: He paid to send a singing-telegram messenger to deliver Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," live, to NextNewNetworks cofounder Timothy Shea.

A "/golfclap" — a petty form of nonpraise used online — also delivered live, from Shea. And what have these far-seeing pioneers of a brave new medium proved?

...amazing.
I pretty much have nothing to live for now that this has been done. I mean, what is there left to explore? I can't imagine taking this joke any higher. Unless...if maybe U2 could somehow be convinced to bring Rick on as a warmup act without advertising it.
This one's going to be hard to top. I like it.
Amanda Cogdon doing a naked RickRoll would perhaps be better
Live Rickroll. Now that's too much.
