![]() Minh Duong, a student of Township High School District 214 in Illinois – the state’s second-largest school district – wrote in a blog that he hijacked every networked display in every school to broadcast “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley, which itself has become a popular meme and internet prank.
