    Eighties pop singer Rick Astley has become the surprise contender for best act ever at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool.

    The star, who has never been nominated in the history of the event, is up against U2, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Green Day and Tokio Hotel.

    The winner, chosen by fans online, will be unveiled at the show on 6 November.

    :D

    I have this vision of a dark stage and spotlights light up Justin Timberlake who starts to sing his song, after 10 seconds the spotlight turns off Justin and lights up rick who immediately starts to sing "Never Gonna Give You Up"

    "Rick's fans have obviously decided that he deserves recognition as a pop icon and no doubt they are determined to make sure he wins on the night,"

    If by ricks fans you mean eveery troll and /b/tard on the net, then yes.

    Well the other options arent exactly credible either in fairness. At least this would be funny. As opposed to U2 picking up another undeserved award.

    I've heard Irish people get arrested for saying stuff like that. No matter how true it is.

    There's a python script floating around that just keeps submitting votes, i'll have a look see if I have it saved somewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,151 ✭✭✭Thomas_S_Hunterson


    voila
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    import urllib2
    import urllib
    
    num = 1000 # The number of times to iterate
    
    params = {}
    params['fields[category]'] = 'Best Act Ever'
    params['fields[artist]'] = 'Rick Astley'
    params['action[suggestions]'] = 'Vote'
    params = urllib.urlencode(params)
    
    for x in range(num):
        print "Running iteration #%s" % x
        req = urllib2.Request(url='http://ema.mtv.co.uk/vote/#!', data=params)
        urllib2.urlopen(req)

    It seems as though YouTube has blocked all rickroll videos from being embedded.

    Classy.

    In the meantime please accept this piano playing kitten.
