“Steven Smith, aka, the Zune Tattoo Guy or Mszunefan has abruptly ended his man-love obsession with all things Zune, willfully defecting to the tender Touch of Apple’s iPod after realizing Zune sucks. Smith was no casual Zune zombie, he was the most recognized Zune fanatic in the product’s history along with being a regular Zune Scene forum contributor and a three time tattooed fan boy. In his forum summary he appropriately listed his position as ‘Emperor Zune.’ At one point he investigated changing his legal name to ‘Microsoft Zune’ before waking up to his own unique version of coyote ugly. For Steven Smith, the Zune honeymoon is over,” iPhone Savior reports.
“I spoke to Smith by phone as he waxed on about the failings of Zune, his disappointment in the progress of the product line and his new iPod Touch. ‘The thing that pisses me off is that Microsoft is not advancing the Zune software, it’s obviously the bastard child in Microsoft’s product line,’ said Smith,” iPhone Savior reports.
“Smith gushed over the feel of his new 16GB iPod Touch which he purchased after owning an 80GB iPod Classic for less than 72 hours.’It’s super thin and does some really neat stuff like tilting to go into cover flow,’ Smith said. ‘I also like watching movies on it. I can go anywhere to get iPod accessories, that’s not the case with Zune stuff in Iowa,'” iPhone Savior reports.

[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers too numerous to mention for the heads up.]
This fat poor bastard’s 15 seconds of fame were 15 seconds too many.
A worse iPod endorser we cannot be bothered to imagine.
Ha ha ha.
My teacher used to say that Iowa stood for Idiots Out Wandering Around. Perhaps in certain instances, she hit the nail on the head.
“That’s a perfect story for this site, and a perfect ending to this whole ZuneGuy drama.”
And the funniest part of that ending is that he’s now a Mac Fanboy. He has become you! He has reached rock bottom and started to dig.
“My teacher used to say that Iowa stood for Idiots Out Wandering Around.”
What was she teaching you, how to turn tricks on the street corner?
@Irony Seems Lost:
<At risk of feeding trolls>… and further irony is lost in that YOU are the lowest form of internet life! Trolling on other fan sites making rude comments! Wow! The irony!
He is a human being and don’t forget we share 99,9% genes with him. Maybe he’ll buy an iMac next, and after that he may write poetry, or his Memoirs, who knows, and be published and become a member of the jet set. Also, Orson Welles was fat.
“he may write poetry, or his Memoirs, who knows, and be published and become a member of the jet set. “
Alternatively, and more likely, he may use it to become a regular MDN poster.
By itself, the Zune logo is not unattractive as a tattoo. Ten years from now when hardly anyone remembers what the Zune was, his tattoo will just be another design that’s not nearly as terrible as your every day common tribal tattoo that every goon seems to want permanently fixed on their skin.
He needs to lose some weight though. Gross obesity is a far bigger problem than having a (famous) dork tattoo.
You’re killing me!
HILARIOUS!!! With Fat Bastard, you went OVER THE TOP!!!
Please, please keep going!!!
Welcome to the social!
(OK, someone had to say it.)
This is a great story, but in a kinda, grotesque, macabre, morbid, rubbernecking-at-a-horrible-car-accident-kind-of-way.
It’s the end of Zune Tang I guess…
Instead of posting here, get out to the gym, lose a few pounds, get a decent haircut and have your Apple tattoo removed.
You have it wrong. Both candidates will increase taxes. McCain is a democrat in drag.
Both are Palookas.
IT’S A SAD TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY.
If I had to vote for one, it would be McCain.
well, this is problem since internet is all over the place. people just don’t censor before uploading. it is disgusting to see him here. I am not discriminating anybody. but I don’t know. is it news? what an waste!
@ @theDude
“If I had to vote for one, it would be McCain.”
Excellent choice. Vote for the guy who wants to raise taxes AND have a permanent presence in Iraq as a neocon launch pad for the war in Iran. Can’t imagine how great the economy will turn out then.
Hey: I was 108 lbs overweight. I’ve been on a diet, losing 22 lbs already. My excuse? Over eating.
I’m sensitive to all people overweight.
HOWEVER, THIS POST IS HILARIOUS! I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING.
P.S. MDN is better journalism than the NY Times, NY Post, and the NY Daily News combined. And, I’m from the west coast!
Next time al Quaeida hits us, why don’t you invite them over to your house for dinner?
I lost life-long friends in the world trade center.
Remember 9/11.
@@Chris:
Ohhhhh, good one!!! BUUURRRRNNN!!!! Wow, you’re smart. Get lost, troll.
“I lost life-long friends in the world trade center.”
You should have told them not to hijack those planes. They took a lot of good people with them.
It’s a bit too much like looking in the mirror for you, isn’t it?
Hey did you hear about the Zune guy?….. He’s fat.
“Next time al Quaeida hits us, why don’t you invite them over to your house for dinner?”
If Barack Obama had his way over a year ago with the added brigades in Afghanistan that commanders there are now requesting, I’d have a hell of a lot less reason to worry about Al Qaeda.
They sure as hell aren’t in Iran and that’s the next stop on the Straight Talk Express.
What a sad day.
No Ampar, no Zune Tang, too much thelonius mac with his twisted perspective.
Yes unfortunately Zune is dying, or maybe just sleeping (obligatory MPFC reference), Microsoft has focused their attention on Windows7 (which comes a long way after Windows98 – that’s Microsoft for ya!) and on wresting the server market from Linux. Who controls the information is king. So if Zune withers so be it, we all have to scarify for the greater good. iPods are just toys anyway.
“If Barack Obama had his way over a year ago”
If Barack becomes President he and Osama Bin laden would make up and be sitting in the Oval Office singing Kum Ba Ya with Kim Jong il, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
