Dial Up The The Rick Astley Virus!

This is pretty hot—the Daily Mail reports some 21-year-old Australian student claims to have created the very first iPhone virus, wherein users who've installed applications not approved by Apple suddenly get their wallpaper changed to a pic of Rick Astley. The virus then spreads once another person with an iPhone is called from the "infected" one.

As with Rick Rolling, I'm failing to see how this is a bad thing? In fact, the only thing that would make it classier is if the ringtones were all changed to "Take Me To Your Heart":



See? Fun! It's when all this Rick nonsense starts involving songs like that dodgy cover of "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" that folks ought to start getting worried.

And don't even get me started on Rick's Hold Me In Your Arms album track "Dial My Number." Hey, wait a minute...!
