We haven’t heard much from bowling aficionado and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser since early March when he called Apple “deceptive for not explicitly telling customers that iTunes songs can’t be transferred easily to other devices,” so we thought we’d have some fun in the form of another Glaser photo captioning contest. Despite many calls for more, we haven’t had one since our Bono-Glaser photo caption contest last October.
So what if it’s one of those contests where nobody wins a “real” prize? Who cares! It’s fun anyway. Below is a photo of Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks, Inc. – let’s see what you can do with it!

Great job on the photo.
I have a pile of mp3 players this big at home that don’t work. Damn I should have just bought an iPod.
or
I figured that this subscription thig woould work…I have a subscription to an internet porn site and that works.
“woah… hold on, don’t move… i think we are being watched.
“I just want you all to know that I’m currently working on getting a third chin”.
Apple like totally devoured my market share, and it was like…..a bummer.
If people really knew how good our stuff really is, our market share could grow to this much!
Our engineers have just finished the design of our soon to be released mini MP3 player – it’s about this big – and has the shape of a donut.
Do you want to see some pictures I have on my iPod photo of my gay lover? He has a cock this big.
man, some of these aren’t funny, just tasteless….
*thinks to self*… Ok, to distract you all from our really low market share, I’m going to be playing this Theremin and have my presentation sound all spacey and sci-fi modernish, kinda, like, um, yea…
Last night me and Bill burned one this big and dreamed how to continue our dominance over Apple.
I will use my powers to turn this crappy software into a best seller…..everyone hold your breath untill i’m finished! Oh…and RealPlayer will be the best mediaplayer as well. You’ll see, just keep holding you noses.
this will set a record for number of posts
I would use both hands to kiss Steve’s ass and congratulate him!
Can we knock it off with the “gay lover” and “cock” routines? I really don’t want to think of that sweaty pile of mayonaisse Rob Glaser playing for my team. The breaders can have him!
Easy?: “Tera Patricks isnt only easy, she’s incredibly simple. All I had to do is Feed her a cherry martini and it was Hitlers all night long..
Easy, yeah Tera Patricks, you’re the easiest chick this side of the pacific..”
How do you become the easiest chick this side of the Pacific when you’re not on this side of the Pacific? As a matter of fact she’s not on the other side of it either.
For the geographically challenged: Hawaii
uh, breeders, that is
No, justified, I think Rob would rather play for the Breaders – just like those tasty chicken fingers he makes at home
Our RealPlayer sucks this much!!! God, I wish I had a Mac!
“MDN’s internet cock is about THIIIIIIS large. That’s what it takes in order for them tell a lot of tired donut eating jokes about a guy they’ve never met; a guy who’s measurably more successful in life than any of them are. But when you worship at an alter you must hate everyone and everything who competes with your overlord, so I harbor no ill will.”

“I did not have sexual relations with Bill Gates!”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to present to you the new RealNotworks/Dell “(v)i-nyl™” music player!
As you can see from the molding of the casing, the 12″ vinyl disks go in the top here, you close the lid and a ‘needle™’ engages the grooves on the disk which spins at 78rpm…”
(1) So I said to her it was this big before I got into the water.
(2) Hello! Look at the size of me lady! I dont want a footlong I want a two footlong!!!
(3) I like my men to have dicks this big.
My try:

I couldn’t just caption it. I had to make a mini-movie.
I respect what MDN is doing for Apple and its customers, but we part company on posts like this. Real’s products are bad enough that we should be maligning them without getting personal about the CEO. This contest may be fun for some, but it is a smug distraction from an important issue and should be beneath Mac users.
This post really should be about why QuickTime is better than the Real Player or the Windows Media Player. At a time when many mainstream media Web sites still only post audio, movies and videos in Real and WMP-compatible formats, we should be expending our time and brainpower mounting a grassroots campaign to demand that more Webmasters support the QuickTime Player.
How about it MDN?
