Continuing Weezer’s collaboration with YouTube stars to promote their new single Pork and Beans, Tay Zonday sings his own version of the media independence anthem.
A friend of mine is taking heat from a local media mafia for displaying independent thought in a recent article. I dedicate this song to her. :)

YouTube Rickrolls Everyone!

April 1, 2008 is not the best day to hit the YouTube Featured Videos list. You may be familiar with Rickrolling, the practice of posting a deceptive link that leads to a video of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up. This April Fools’ Day, YouTube Rickrolls everyone as Featured Videos links all lead to Rick’s immortal hit.
Congratulations to YouTube on demonstrating a deep understanding of Internet culture. May I respond with Tay Zonday’s version of Never Gonna Give You Up.
