SEATTLE -- In their first town hall meeting today at Benaroya Hall, John McCain was present but Barack Obama surprisingly did not appear. With more than 500 local voters present, the Obama campaign played a prank on John McCain of presidential proportions. Obama "Rick Rolled" McCain."Rick Rolling" is a prank made famous on YouTube for which the sole purpose of the prank is to play the 1987 Rick Astley video "Never Gonna Give You Up."
When Barack Obama was introduced, a large video screen in the background lit up and played the Rick Astley video. The audience burst into laughter and applause.
"My friends, I don't find this at all humorous," said an angry McCain. "I don't support torture and I never will," McCain shouted over peals of laughter.

While McCain was reeling from his prank, Obama campaigned in McCain's home state of Arizona and registered 7 million democratic voters.
