Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

The natural evolution of prank calls is rickroll links.

Speaking of, did you know that there's a Chrome extension that turns random links into rickrolls?

Or, if you're a firefox user, maybe:

I haven't tried either of them, but I think the concept is neat. I'm a fan of doing a little self-pranking now and then.
