Looks like Rick is calling

Numerous iPhone users serenade their favorite device to keep it in proper working condition: “Never gonna give you up… never gonna set you down…” So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the iPhone has been Rickrolled! The new “ikee” worm replaces the background with a picture of Rick Astley. The worm began in Wollongon, Australia and continues to spread its way around iWorld. As of now, it’s relatively harmless but there is always a chance it could mutate into something more serious (Bonus question 1: Which is more dangerous, a new flu virus or a new computer virus?)

We love Rick Astley! And we enjoy his wonderful video by choice on a regular basis! But we are even more impressed with the celebrity second life phenomena of the internet (Bonus question 2: What is your Bacon number?). Twenty years ago, Rick Astley was the talk of the town. Ten years ago he was a faded memory. And now, his starry eyes make their appearance in everything from Scientology protests to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to Nancy Pelosi press releases. And that’s one hit wonderful! Critical accolades, sold out concerts, and platinum records are all fine and dandy. But true fame rides the wave of an internet meme (Bonus question 3: When was your last wardrobe malfunction?) .
