“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.

This fat poor bastard’s 15 seconds of fame were 15 seconds too many.
A worse iPod endorser we cannot be bothered to imagine.
Andy,
You should be nice to ChrissyOne. She is really a wonderful person.
(Pssst: I’m gonna try to talk her into sending me pictures of herself naked. Don’t say anything.)
Jesus loves everyone. Even the people others find unattractive.
@ Sir Gill Bates
What’s the number for the National Enquirer again? Oh, I see, I’ll… keep mum for a cut of the action?
@ Chrissy One
Just doing my bit for the homeland, my good lady.
Andy,
It’s a deal. But this is for private consumption only.
I don’t want to die young. Well, young-ish.
@ World Affairs
Well if they all had Zunes they could squirt their favorites world domination theme songs to each other over tea!
@QED
Jesus loves a good curry, too. And a pina colada while he’s at it.
@ Toasty
America’s theme tune ought to be You Could Be Mine by Guns’n’Roses at full volume. We’d deafen and numb the other world leaders into obedience!
@ Sir Gill Bates
At least we’ll be Gods Among Men, mister Sir.
Wow I guess i’ll follow suit and delete my URL to zuneinsider.com from my Links bar in IE…
MUFFLEY MERKIN FOR PRESIDENT!
“MUFFLEY MERKIN FOR PRESIDENT!”
Ha! I need to watch that flick again. It’s been years.
I miss Slim Pickens. Come to think of it, they’re pretty much all gone now. Bummer.
What is that sound in the background?
Does he have a server running in his room?
I could hardly understand what he was saying.

“I saw one months ago……..they don’t have a presence in stores……”
They don’t even have a presence OUT of the stores! Lol!
Gee looks like there might be some confusion with some readers who are not part of the terrorist AENUS (Australia, England ‘N United States). Please put some perspective into this.
-He’s overweight.: Members of the AENUS alliance has some of the highest weight per capita. I am sure his friends in IOWA call him slim.
He’s unattractive: They may not be talking about skin, but what is deeper than that, cause that after all is where true beauty lies.
He’s none too bright. Well that pretty well speaks for most of the members of the AENUS alliance.
He’s stuck with the logo of an unpopular, unsuccessful product as a permanent tattoo which will be the source of jokes for years to come.: Which is not much different than having a flag shoved up so far where the sun don’t shine that you can see the stars shining from behind their eyes. (Looks eerie at dusk).
And he’s an Apple fanboy now, just like you. My guess is you’d be mistaken for twins separated at birth.
I went through Iowa once, very, very flat, easy to drive through. Thank God.
J/K, but I had to, I’m from NY State (not city), have some fun and flame away, let me have it.
“I’m from NY State”
There’s a NY State? Are you sure? I’ve only ever heard of the city.
zune guy IS zune tang
it’s all so clear now!!!!
@@Road Warrior.
Only to those without a discerning eye. For those having to rely on guesses, well we all know how good “aim for Bin hit Saddam” guidance guess system is.
Ahhh… a tech story morphs into politics…
‘sbeen a while…
“Only to those without a discerning eye”
Perhaps but an Apple tattoo instead of a Zune one isn’t enough of a difference for most people to tell you apart.
Insulting someone’s appearance? What are we, nine?
Thanks for reinforcing the stereotype of Apple users as idiots.
“Thanks for reinforcing the stereotype of Apple users as idiots.”
Only to you Windows lovin’ morons. And we really lose sleep over what you think, dipshit.
LOL typical Apple fanboi there. A deranged ego , spotlight seeking twat who cant seem to decide who he is ar what he wants.
Your all better off with him?!?!?!?
We forgive and welcome all into the fold, even you Brother Crash. All we ask is that you repent and denounce your evil ways. Are you willing?
“we ask is that you repent and denounce your evil ways.”
And reach for a few thousand packs of twinkies to get up to Apple Fanboy weight. And let personal hygene go. And Please Please stop thinking for yourself. Apple will now be doing that for you.
Like watching a sinking ship; it’s never a pretty sight. The same with seeing a technical product (even with a competing product to the iPod) dyeing before our eyes. I’ve been excited about products just as religiously as the Zune Guy. And, that product took a nose dive too. It’s sad because I’m sure that even the Zune had it’s features and benefits that the iPod will never see since they’re no longer competing.
