It was a retardical question.

And YMMV on some of those (I don't find goatse particularly amusing myself). There is an interesting anthropological angle to this, that you're essentially seeing a cultural tradition destroyed due to copyright.

I guess I could call myself an armchair anthropologist, I plan to study it in college and I've done quite a bit of reading on it. This is more of a memetics thing.

It's probably more likely that Google realised that AVG has absolutely fuck all to do with Rick Astley.

Given the recent trend of Federal interest in copyright, I figured Google wouldn't have changed their minds quite so quickly.

I've been using AVG for years now, and never had a problem with it.  Then again, I never update it either, so I'm probably still using the old "good" version.

I had the radio on the "oldies" station, and I heard a kinda catchy song come on.  I thought to myself, this is so 80s it hurts but it's kinda fun... Then it got to the refrain.  Nobody ever remembers the rest of the song.

Hey, I do. I love the killer drum riff at the beginning. Whenever I hear anything like it, I brace myself for a Rickroll, and then it turns out to be some weird Vietnamese music or whatever and then I'm like "okay??"
