EWU student pranks the New York Times

An aspiring filmmaker at Eastern Washington University says he never meant to prank the New York Times when he posted a video online March 16th.

“Pawley P” says he wanted to make a clip that looked like he interrupted a woman’s basketball game by playing a popular song from the 1980’s.
 

The prank of drawing attention to the Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up” is known as Rickrolling-and it happened to be the topic of an article being written by a New York Times reporter last week.
