There is only one thing that could rival with the Obama presidency in the internet world today; and that’s one category at MTV’s European Music Awards: Best act ever. If you’ve been around the internet for more than a day, you know that the heart of the internet beats in these two unmistakeable words: Rick Roll. We’ve all been rick rolled; we all rick rolled others.

Internet users have their own sense of honor; they’re grateful to Rick Astley for leaving us his work to use for laughing. So it was obvious who was going to get the award; still, MTV tried to kill the democracy and kick him out of the competition (which frankly, was THE hugest mistake they could do). As far as I’m concerned, at this moment, MTV is shit. But if they would have done that, they would have gone beyond the epic bottom. Still, to cut a long story short, they gave him the prize.

Here’s what he had to say about this.

Yeah, what the whole internet waited for and crossed its fingers for happened; Mr. Barack Obama is the future president of the United States. We’re all happy about that, all around the world, and our hopes and expectations now have a true chance of being fulfilled. Still, we have a duty too.

We have a duty to understand that Obama is a politician who surrounds himself with advisors, not a black overlord riding a huge horse and fighting off evil. Miracles will not happen, but we have a duty to keep him to his word and he has a duty to show us that our trust was not misdirected. People much more qualified than me have given their word about this, so I’ll speak no more.

Mr. Obama, make us proud.

We’ve seen, heard and read about it for almost a year now. The voting day is here for the people of the United States, and of course, the question on everybody’s lips is ‘Will Obama Win??’. I’m not from the U.S., and all I know about the elections and the candidates I’ve read from newspapers or digg and reddit, so I can’t really say I have the right to talk about it, but one thing’s for sure. The people who get a chance have to do the right thing.

That means get out, and decide your future for yourself. Vote. If you think Obama’s the man, you should get out and vote for him. If you think McCain’s better, you should stay at home and watch TV vote for him instead. Either way, do something. Do it. DO IT!!
