Zune Guy Rant Against Microsoft and Zune no Longer Available
26 07 2008
We didn’t want to post MSZuneFan’s “last video” because of the hard language but we’re more than happy to report it now has been removed from YouTube. “My Last Video” of the Zune Tattoo Guy (yes, he actually calls himself the Zune Tattoo Guy) had logged in 559 views in total. The link still exists though the video no longer plays. Engadget, which posted the video and the link to the Zune forum Zune Tattoo Guy frequents, points to this reason, among others, that turned the man against Microsoft:
I have been lying on behalf of Microsoft by saying that I have gone on the trip to Redmond that they offered me over a year ago, truth is, they canceled said trip only days before I was suppose to come out. Cesar himself was the one to break the news to me and for the sake of them not looking like they stabbed a huge fan in the back I just said I went and it was great. Just figured I don’t have to hide this any longer if I could care less if the Zune succeeds at this point or not.
Zune Tattoo Guy, now an iPod owner, has been a nightmare for the Zune ever since he proclaimed himself a fan. His apostasy may provoke a sigh of relief rather than wails of agony from Redmond. Now, how do you think you’d feel if he gets some Apple and iPod tattoos?
Wow!

The video is still active and playing on youtube but whatever, I have not been a sore spot for Mircosoft since I got my first tattoo, if anything I have helped make the name a little bit more mainstream. And the fact that Microsoft couldn’t bring their own fists to the PMP fight is just sad.

Yep, always wondered how one of the richest companies in the world cannot come out with better products.

Please!
If you promise not to get any Apple Tattoos I’ll get you a free visit to the apple campus in Cupertino.
At four AM in the morning of course.
… and you have to wear a disguise.
Thanks,
Steve
