It was a good prank but how many of those fans were actually Mets fans??? Give me a break…

I thought the Mets came up with a nice compromise to determine the new 8th inning song:

So, FARK and DIGG rallied their troops, and got 5 million people to vote for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up in the team’s eighth-inning sing-a-long contest.

Instead of declaring Astley the winner, the team will hold a live, run-off vote.

Tomorrow, during the eighth inning, they’ll play Never Gonna Give You Up, followed by Living on a Prayer on Wednesday, I’m a Believer on Thursday, Movin’ Out on Friday, Sweet Caroline on Saturday and Build Me Up Buttercup on Sunday.

…i actually like this solution…instead of just ignoring the FARK.com results, which are very real, Rick Astley and their efforts are recognized…however, as it was explained to me by the team, knowing full well that only a small, small percentage of those 5 million votes came from actual Mets fans, by playing the top six songs at Shea, the team can now gauge how their own, real fan base takes to each tune based on audience participation, which will ultimately determine the stadium’s new sing-a-long song…

…the funniest part about this entire thing is that, i never, in a million years, thought i would dedicate this much time and space to Rick Astley on MetsBlog.com…and i laugh every time i write his name…well played, FARK…well played, indeed…this may be one of the biggest Rickrolls ever…

This is shameful.

The NY Mets made me cry, and now I’m gonna say goodbye.

I’ve jumped many a campfire while rockin’ out to Mr Astley. Why can’t the Mets just accept what the fans want?

The Mets let me down. That’s something Rick Astley would never do.

SOME weren’t Mets fans? Um, I’m pretty sure 99% of the voters in the online poll weren’t Mets fans. Hell, 75% of them probably weren’t even baseball fans. Because really, who actually gives a crap about stuff like this, unless it’s funny? No one.
