Certified financial planner. WSJ reader. Local host radio. Porcelain dog collector. Ultradouche. Jason nailed him. Now Penny Arcade has a take on the Zune Pass itself with the argument of the Zune ad.

They are kinda right, but they're not taking into account the 10 free songs you get a month under the pass.

Even if you take out the argument that you may already (legally) own all your iPod music in CDs, and even if you take out the argument that most people fill their iPods with pirated music, at the end, no matter what you do, you are paying for a temporary service. Once you stop paying, most of your music will be gone forever (the songs you didn't get for free every month that you get to keep). [Penny Arcade]

<![CDATA[Wes Moss Is the New Super Douchey Face of Microsoft's Zune]]> We call people douchebags all the time, but Wes Moss, the star of Microsoft's latest Zune ad has all the credentials of being a record holder. Let's look, shall we?

Even if we put aside the fact that he looks and talks and gestures like a douche, he has plenty of douchey bullet points to put him very high on the douche point scale.

• He's a financial planner. (+5 DP)
• He's read the WSJ since he was 11 (+10 DP)
• He grew up near old money (+3 DP)
• He's written two financial planning books (+2 DP)
• He hosts a local talk radio show (+11 DP)
• Runs his own website for financial planning, with his headshot—taken a few years ago, it seems—squarely on the front (+5 DP)
• He was on season two of the Apprentice (+30 DP)
• He was fired from season two of the Apprentice (+5 DP)
• His name is Wes Moss (+1 DP)

That's a 72 on the douche point scale. In comparison, Shia LeBouf only scores a 32, and this guy on the left with the collars only hits a 14.

Thanks, Fortune, for digging up all the reasons why this guy's a horrible, horrible person. Of course, all these points are unnecessary if you'd just watch the video. [Fortune]
