I didn't get it before, and really don't get it now. I get it! This is just iPod counter culture!
You know that guy who got a Zune tattoo, and a reward of 5 free songs and some Zune stickers from Microsoft? Here's his second tattoo. Guess he wants more stickers. Perhaps there's some subliminal programming in those new ads?

I also notice that guy has shaved his handlebar mustache between now and then. We notice the little things, here at Gizmodo.

Both are terrible, but at least he shaved a little in the second pic. But he's still lame, so that doesn't change anything...
If those are the only two tattoos this dofus has he is going to get his ass kicked at the next biker rally he attends. And if you doubt he is in to bikes check out that belly and that stache. I do bet he plastered the zune stickers all over his honda.
"well what do we have here... some sissy zune tattoo wanna be biker".
I mean come on, we all know bikers are in to iPods.
Sorry Roger, you still tiger.
Take it from my gay roomate: "That guy is ugly as FUCK" Ugly people listen to Zunes.
Very, very lame I think we need a word stronger than fanboy, #1 fanboy doesn't quite have enough mustard on it. I can think of a few that are too rude to print, so I will have to settle for dumkopf.
@Duffasaurus: Your name fits you. I'm pretty hot looking, really, and I listen to my Zune.
So I guess you're wrong.
I think quickboy is pretty hot....
Is it just me or did fanboy lose some weight?
@quikboy - lol nice
@duffasaurus - dont be a dick to people you dont know
Well, I didn't say all people who listened to Zune's were ugly, I was merely poking fun. And I feel slightly compelled to make fun of Mr.Zune tattoo because he is simply too fat. Now if he was simply ugly, I might feel bad, but he is just big as a truck.
My initial response was MS paid him a buck to get that original tatoo. Now I know MS gave him a free Zune player too!
What is the difference between $1 and a Zune?
Nothing. They're both nearly useless.
Fanboyism aside, i think i see Microsoft's new market: Crotch Rocket Farm boys from Virginia. Seriously though, my step mom woke me up once cause the computer said it had performed an illegal operation and she thought the FBI was coming for her. BTW...this guy was totally my bus driver in high school.
What is it with the Zune bashing? is it because its not an ipod? seriously now, children settle down, I think its a pretty cool MP3 player you know ipod isn't the only MP3 player ont he market..oh well now you know.
@Peacekeeper
I know Honestly! What exactly is WRONG with the Zune? Is it not trendy enough for you? Are the headphones not WHITE enough for you? Are you afraid of something... different? Would you say it to this guys face knowing he'd beat the sh*t out of 94.8% of iPod users?
Screw the Zune and the iPod...the Sandisk Sansa Connect is much better (and pretty much the only thing we've gotten to work well with Yahoo Music Unlimited)
[www.sandisk.com]
Though it doesn't require an open wi-fi network...but it does require you to broadcast your ssid.
My mother will do anything for attention
No. The Zune is NOT trendy enough. Who wants to admit to shoddy MS products? And NO, THE HEADPHONES ARE NOT WHITE ENOUGH.
Mine may not be an iPod, but i'll never drop to the depraved depths of the Zune. <3 my ROKR. TY! BB.

The Zune still sucks, but we all have our own opinions. The guy has got balls though, and if he got a free Zune out of the stunt, good for him.
The Sandisk Sansa Connect is cool too, but the PlaysForSure crap blows... Nice little player.
I'm confused. Why did that guy get a picture of a bald guy petting a bunny on his arm?
Don't bother answering. No reason intelligently explains this.
What do you people have against the
I think that this posts about him should stop now before we get to see his cheeks tatooed. Microsoft, bury this guy with zune stuff already!
Woah... sorry my computer bugged out and it posted the comment too soon:
What do you peope have against the Zune?
Its a fine player, with more battery life than the ipod, larger screen, Wi-Fi that has yet to be developed but it certainly can and most likely will be, it has a larger screen than most of its competition, its build quality is superb, it supports alot of audio formats, not so much for video, it is scratch free (with the exception of the screen, but thats still better than the ipod).
I mean.. all i see is people bagging it because it is made by Microsoft... what is so bad about Microsoft? Oh wait.. i know.. it gets viruses... well some people are so fucked up to the point where they want to harm one's investmant by creating viruses/spyware.. the fix? keep downloading MS's security updates and download Avast 4 home! and Spybot S&D and you'll be fine.. for free.
and besides.. what does that have to do with the Zune? nothing!
if its not MS than it must be that the Wi-Fi is almost useless... so? Does the ipod even have Wi-Fi?? if you dont want it.. turn it off.. damn!
Well... then it must be because it doesnt support Playsforsure, yeah, i agree, thats bullshit.. but i buy the CDs from stores and used so that doesnt effect me one bit.. but the ipod doesnt support playsforsure either.. and the funniest thing is i see alot of iPod fanboys bitching about how it doesnt support playsforsure when i know for a fact that they dont even use playsforsure.. so.....
And the worst one yet, that Steve Jobs himself used to dis the zune.. is the choice of Brown... ok... so what? if you dont like brown then pick white, black, red, blue (halo 3), pink, or any of the other special editions. With the ipod all you get is black and white.
then also the lack of being able to use it as a USB drive... true that sucks. but how many people primarily use this for transferring files? If you wanted to transfer files shouldnt you get a 1gb flash drive that go for only 20 bucks or less.
and then almost as pathetic as the brown one.. is the resolution is the same as the ipod, yet the screen is larger. Well that is true.. but you really cant notice it.. at all.. its just imaginary fear, you can try to find it.. then force yourself to believe that it is really REALLY blurry.. when in reality it looks perfectly fine.
Put it this way, the ipod is up to 5.5 generation.. so they have had 5 products and a good 5-6 years of solid customer testing to make their player what it is today.. the zune? 8 months, and with 8 months of testing I can say it is far superior to the ipod.
As for software, Its not as good as iTunes 7.. thats right iTunes SEVEN!! this is ZMP 1... Would you expect a newborn infant to compete against a highschool athlete and win? NO, but once the infant becomes an athlete of himself, and the highschooler becomes tired and lazy the infant will eventually win... ok thats corny but you get the point. give the zune some time...
The dude looks happy with his new tat. He's not hurting anyone getting them, why do we hate?
And from the uber hip iPud side of the equation: [www.astro.queensu.ca]
Hey Giz you guys want to stop some of this pointless bashing of products, yes we know you are apple fanboys and have openly admited it, but can you guys gain some order like what five pages of zune sucks. I don't want to have to read through all that crap just to find that posts that say how stupid this guy is for getting these tattoos.
Dude is stupid and some one need the ban him from gettin any more ink done.
I have no problem with the Zune, it's the same thing as the iPod except it has a bigger screen and uses WMV instead of Apple's proprietary format. It gets the job done and I would get one before an iPod. Although, I would get a Creative Zen before any of them, and will most likely do so soon enough.
Perhaps I'll get a Zune tattoo to cover up my Mini Disc tramp stamp.
I have lost my last shred of faith in humanity.
This guy has to be Bill Gates illegitimate child or something.
Anyway, I'm holding out for the MS BOB tattoo before I label this dude or anybody a Microsoft fanboy.
Bob and Clippy holding hands while looking out a Windows 3.1/95 logo at a withered Apple tree.Your poll options are like asking 'Which is better, a kick in the nuts from the left foot, or a kick in the nuts from the right foot'
I can't vote for either of them....
He's not hurting anyone but himself with those God-awful tattoos. uggghhh... even Miami Ink couldn't save those designs.
Uh, sorry guy... thumbs down.
What's his next tattoo gonna be; HD DVD perhaps?
Dear Giz,
Please quit giving this pathetic human free "air time". WTF is wrong with you?
bh
Simply.....what an IDIOT!
Dude...is APPLE paying this guy to do that to himself ?
If they are, Microsoft should leverage it's deeper pockets and pay him to STOP...
I'm surprised that his mom didn't kick him out for a getting a tattoo. But when you're that big, I guess you also have big shirts.
Handle bar mustache? Please...
That's a fu manchu that he shaved off, proving he made two bad decisions this week. Three if you count the first tattoo.
I am not so sure how much he likes the Zune, If he would have carved the logo on his face that would seal the deal, I would know he was commited to the end to his Zune. Anyone who feels the need to get their mp3 player logo tattooed on them has problems.... beisdes my playstation 3 tattoo looks better. j/k
one vote for complete douche!
There are so many other bad tattoo choices he could have made that would have been better, like maybe his girfriends name......... wait stick with the zune tats bro.
