Rick Astley: Nominated at EMAs for BEST ACT EVER.

**RedDeath9** · 10-02-2008 11:24 PM

Yep, it's happened.

http://ema.mtv.co.uk/news/

It started out on Ultimate-Guitar on September 9th, and spread all the way around the internet within a few nights. (Hell, I even made a thread here, it only got 9 replies) You could vote as many times as you wanted, so people made a script that voted for him continuously.

But, he hasn't won yet. And he's the only one worthy of being on the list. So vote for him.

He got nominated cause of people like myself who used hack sites to continuously vote for him.

But it's all good cause he deserves it.

**Reality_is_a_Dream** · 10-02-2008 11:32 PM

The interwebz is here.

**nitsuJ** · 10-03-2008 03:55 AM

I voted about 20 times last time, where's a website I can go that will use a script to do it over and over?

**Bearsy** · 10-03-2008 05:19 AM

To hack vote to help him win keep this site open in your browser as long as possible

also

1. Use Firefox - Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable
2. Find the iMacro add on - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863
3. Install said addon.
4. Go to the voting page. (Vote :: Vote Now :: MTV Europe Music Awards 2008 :: 06.11.08 :: Liverpool, UK)
5. Go to the Record tab of iMacro.
6. Click record, then go through the full 3 click motion of voting.
7: Then click Stop.
8. GO back to the play tab of the mod.
9. put 99999 in the "repeat Macro" field.
10.Click "Play (Loop)".

Keep this page open as long as possible also.

Hehehe, nice. I'm letting it go to work.

I'm running both! ._.

**Bearsy** · 10-03-2008 06:28 AM

I'm not sure if it's for every one, but the iMacro program seems to stop working after a thousand or so votes.

But if you're on the computer just check the site every once and a while and refresh it if it stops

**ClouD** · 10-03-2008 10:20 AM

Rigged if he doesn't win.

Rigged if he does.

Geegee.

LMAO, ANYONE SEEN MTV'S NEWS TODAY?
http://www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/n...-astley-debate

Does he deserve his MTV EMA nomination or has Rickrolling gone too far?

Rick Astley is up for Best Act Ever at the MTV Europe Music Awards this November and it’s certainly causing a lot of debate in offices around the country.

VOTE IN OUR RICK ASTLEY POLL HERE

Our poll on the issue has generated a ridiculous 20 million votes- suggesting that yet again we've fallen victim to internet phenomenon 'Rickrolling'!

And the result is staggering- 99.98% of the votes say the Never Gonna Give You Up singer deserves to be in our prestigious category- alongside Britney Spears and Green Day.

In comments below this story many fans claim the nomination has nothing to do with Rickrolling. Some people say we should die for even suggesting it has.

Check out the madness below.

’Rickrolling’ started when people started posting his videos and now it has seemingly spread to voting for him to win prizes!

False links to youtube have tricked people into watching his classic 1987 hit Never Gonna Give you Up over 20 million times.

**Sandform** · 10-03-2008 08:58 PM

I voted a couple times for him hehe.

THANKS FAGGOTS!

You managed to burn 10GB of bandwidth yesterday by downloading this webpage (5KB) over nine thousand million times.

WORST 10$ WORTH OF SERVER USE EVER.

Protip: MTV has caught on, see here. "Our poll on the issue has generated a ridiculous 20 million votes- suggesting that yet again we've fallen victim to internet phenomenon 'Rickrolling'!And the result is staggering- 99.98% of the votes say the Never Gonna Give You Up singer deserves to be in our prestigious category- alongside Britney Spears and Green Day."

USE iMACROS FOR FIREFOX TO VOTE FOR RICK, OR ANOTHER SCRIPT RUN LOCALLY FROM YOUR OWN MACHINE.

DO NOT USE BESTACTEVER.COM TO VOTE, IT USES cURL TO VOTE AND SO ALL THE VOTES SENT USING THAT WEBSITE WILL ALL COME FROM THE SAME IP ADDRESS. WEBMASTER OF BESTACTEVER.COM IS A FAGGOT, USE YOUR OWN BANDWIDTH YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

ALSO, FOCUS ON VOTING IN THE FOLLOWING POLL FOR THE TIME BEING:

I've gotten around 1,000 votes for him in so far.

Touche.

**Sandform** · 10-16-2008 03:00 AM

I think Rick really deserves this.

**no-Name** · 10-16-2008 04:00 AM

he deserves this like new orleans and the fags that live there deserved that hurricane.

Huh?

**no-Name** · 10-16-2008 04:18 AM

just saying how little i think rick astley deserves this. i think its an epic prank, but there is no way in hell that he actually deserves this honor.
i hope some guy in a bad V for vendetta mask comes up and grabs the award, or some other tribute to the people that really deserve this.

Lol I was joking, making fun of the tropic thunder thing. What do you mean you people, what do you mean you people, huh?

Lolz.

Rick does deserve this though, all the many laughs he has given me at my own expense.

**Scatterbrain** · 10-16-2008 04:04 PM

Is any of the other artists competing for the "best act ever" award responsible for a big internet meme with over 20 million views? No.

The whole MTV music awards thing is a big joke itself, one gigantic pile of fail. Rick Astley winning the award would give the event a pinch of seriousness.

**Xaqaria** · 10-16-2008 06:09 PM

The funny thing is, I actually do prefer Astley to any other choice on that list. Its also the sad side of the joke.

I doubt that those at 4chan would ever have enough balls to do that.
