“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.
If Barack Obama becomes president, Osama Bin Laden will be dead.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. I can’t imagine the Zune honeymoon ending. Ever. Microsoft is building a platform with Zune at the center. All of Microsoft’s experience and their great innovations, security and ease of use in Windows has magically trickled down into the Zune. An already fantastic product is only getting better. Why throw all of that away for a dopey I-Pod?
Good luck squirting and listening to an FM radio on your little sissy Zune wannabe I-Pod. Dork. At least you still have that cool tattoo.
Maybe I can talk him out of it at the Iowa State Fair in a couple of weeks. The first pork chop on a stick is on me.
Your potential. Our passion.™
Personally, I think it was all a put-on, orchestrated by Apple. Remember “Ira”, the Rivercaster? Him too. Hell, it’s a great idea! Put some poor rube with a weight problem on the interwebs as a big fan of your competitor’s product, then eventually get him to switch. Genius.
Stop wasting time discussing the Zune. Instead take a look at the White Knight 2 which was unveiled today.
“If Barack Obama becomes president, Osama Bin Laden will be dead.”
If that happens he’ll die laughing at the stupidity of the American voter and prospects a weak US will give him to expand the cause of radical Islam.
“it’s obviously the bastard child in Microsoft’s product line”
true, unlike….. ummm, that one product they work so hard on… you know, ummm…..
does MS have a product that take care of?
oh yes, their pile of cash.
Zune Tang,
I’ll bet that broad can really go down on a corn dog, too.
I wonder why they need a stick for a pork chop. Those things already have a built in handle.
Actually, it seems that if Obama is elected, America will have a personality cult worse than kim jong il’s! Just you wait, there’ll be a Obama Hussain Temple commissioned in DC and statues of him all over the damn place.
Hell, I’ve seen his face in the papers and TV so often it’s now becoming utterly gratuitous. If he becomes President, I imagine most people will be bored to death of him and that bloody ‘saintly’ smile of his.
And why the hell is he in Germany? Do they get to vote in US elections, too? Is the US Presidency morphing into a global vote hmm?
As the article, if he likes his iPod Touch, good for him! Score for Apple! No more really needs to be said. His appearance and manner are frankly none of my business or concern.
@ Andy
Does it hurt to be that ignorant?
Gilles,
“Also, Orson Welles was fat.”
Yes, and you know where that got him? Deader than a door nail.
Wikipedia says he died from a “myocardial infarction at his home in Hollywood, California.”
Wrong!!! He actually choked to death on a pork chop on a stick at the Iowa State Fair. Stupid bastard forgot to remove the stick.
So be careful Zune Tang.
@ Chrissy One
Struck a nerve, have I?
Obama bores me to tears, but if you worship him, good for you. And for the record, I don’t rate McCain that much, either. America is screwed either way, mostly thanks to George ‘Dubya’ Bush and every big government initiative since 1932.

America deserves better.
“Is the US Presidency morphing into a global vote hmm?”
If it did it would have a hell of a lot of people more capable of intelligent thought than you.
Alrighty then, that should do it. Let’s get some seriously savage political banter going here. It sure beats talking about the iPhone.
“The White House on Monday predicted a record deficit of $490 billion for the 2009 budget year, a senior government official told CNN. The official pointed to a faltering economy and the bipartisan $170 billion stimulus package that passed earlier this year for the record deficit. President Bush inherited a budget surplus of $128 billion when he took office in 2001 but has since posted a budget deficit every year.”

“America deserves better.”
Deserves got nothing to do with it.

You really know how to pull the ol’heartstrings, don’t you? I ought to pass that on to Hallmark!
Birth of a new Meme?
That’s the only “touch” he’ll ever get
All we need now is someone to change their name to ‘Emperor Touch’ who has an Apple logo tattoo on each shoulder and ‘utility belt’ covered in iPod Touches. He’ll also wear iPod socks and one of those magneta colored sun visors, and be armed with iTunes Store vouchers, an aluminum hip flask with Apple logo, an Apple watch and so many white ear buds the wires wrap around him like a string vest.
Emperor Touch also has Karate Chop! action and an iPhone with quick dials to the iPod Division and Johnny Appleseed. Loudspeaker accessory available, presets include Apple marketing slogans and a Steve Jobs Insult Generator.
Note, batteries not included. Not for sale in Washington, Maine, Rhode Island or Jim’s ‘Extreme Electronics’ store in Miami.

I remember 9/12. I woke up, took a dump, took a shower, then went to work to PAY MY TAXES, which is my PATRIOTIC DUTY.
Everything else to do with patriotism is a crock, as long as I have to pay taxes.
Bin Laden family – personal friends of mine. Any questions?
Well you don’t get to ask them.
Shut up. Go shopping or something.
Ever hear of the “Art of War”? Read it. It’s OK to stage an attack your own people if it will motivate them to war.
@Craptastic,
“PAY MY TAXES” is your patriotic duty only because we have a bloated, inefficient government. Taxes are a necessity only because we MADE it so. Running up a huge deficit amongst other things.
It is way more complicated then can be explained or debated in a MDN forum…. but the people elected into office continue to abuse the people that elected them into office. Something sound wrong there? Yeah, we are all a bunch of damn masochists because this is a cycle that has not broken.
Check out Ron Paul for 10 minutes with an OPEN mind. Find out why we soooo messed up not getting this man up against Obama for the presidency. Not because he is a republican (I have previously voted democrat primarily), but because he wants to do the RIGHT thing.
Stepping off my soap box now…. peace.
The Dude abides.

We ought to have a national Hallmark Slogan Day sometime, or better yet, public speakers and screens that enforce public happiness, inbetween episodes of ‘Uncle Obama Says…’ (:P). And instead of Pinkerton agents, we’ll have Hallmark agents who fine you for frowning, or NOT holding your spouse’s/girlfriend’s hand in public!
There’s a fortune to be made!
@ The Dude
This aggression will not stand, man.
@ Andy
Poor boy. Why do you hate America so much?
