A Poem About The Internet

RIYL look blue go purple and, uh, unrest.
Matthew Perpetua: god I wonder how many people actually care about Unrest in the world

And those of you who are actually cognizant of how much the Internet affects popular culture likely won’t be surprised that Astley’s song was met with a torrent of...
i never thought i’d have another day when i was happy to hear michael kay’s voice, but here we are. (although it’ll probably pass by the fifth, especially if the yankees hold their lead, and DEFINITELY by the seventh.)
