Is this referring to the non-English speaking world?

I know, I can be slow on the uptake most of the time...

Still not sure what it's in reference to. Spy games? Drug addiction? Online gaming?

...that Rick Astley song with that title. People used to do a thing called "Rick-Rolling" where they'd put something in the subject line like "You HAVE to see this" or "MUST SEE" and provide a link. When you clicked on the link you'd be taken to the video for that damned song. I don't know how it got started or why but it got on my last nerve. The OP was kinda cute though. At least it spared us the video.
