Anonymous-exposed.org Getting Rickrolled

Someone created a page ("anonymous-exposed.org") hosting the CoS video about anonymous. Someone else created the same page ("anonymousexposed.org") replacing the video with a clip from Rick Astley. This leads people who don't see the difference in name to think Anonymous hacked the CoS site to replace the video with Rick Ashley when in fact it didn't. ("rickrolled" in anonymouse jargon is to be tricked by a forum troll into clicking on a Rick Astley music video. It is also used when anonymouses highjack events using that clip to promote their agenda as in this example.)
