In connection with the online meme, “Never Gonna Give You Up” was played and performed at some of the Project Chanology February 2008 protests against the Church of Scientology.[8][9] At February 10, 2008 protests in New York City, Washington, D.C., London, and Seattle, protesters played the song through boomboxes and shouted the phrase “Never gonna let you down!”, in what The Guardian called “a live rick-rolling of the Church of Scientology”.[6] In response to a Web site created by Scientologists showing an anti-Anonymous video, Project Chanology participants created a website with a similar domain name with a video displaying the music video to “Never Gonna Give You Up.” [6]
