PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - In a voter's pamphlet released for the upcoming election, a cheeky writer snuck in the iconic words of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
Measure 119 is on the ballot for Novembers election; unionizing cannabis workers for Oregon. In an argument for Measure 119 in the pamphlet, the author, Michael Selvaggio, added a note at the bottom.
"(Now read the first word of each sentence to hear what Measure 119 will never do.)
The first words of each sentence were reminiscent of the long-standing internet meme known as "Rick Rolling" - unexpectedly playing the first few words of the song.
