Zune Guy's name change endeavor is back on
We can't say we'd follow in this guy's footsteps for any amount of money, but boy, does it make for fantastic drama. Shortly after the famed Zune Guy (you know, that cat with a trio of Zune-inspired tattoos?) decided to legally change his name to "Microsoft Zune," the plan was put on hiatus after hearing that it cost a whopping $500 to get a name swap. After getting curious, investigating and discovering that he only needed $150 to have it done, he put the mission squarely back on the front burner. Unfortunately, there still stands a chance of the aforesaid name being denied, so he's posted up a poll in order to let the general public give him a list of backups. Personally, we're feelin' McZunin.

This guys is perfect. F*cking genius in every way.
Go Microsoft!
Funny how people are always quick to say "Apple fanboi"... It will be hard to top this (including the national recognition)
What's a Zune, I've forgotten...?
Perfect?? I hate that picture too. I get looks at work if that guy pops up on my screen with that eerie grin on his face. There should at lease be a NSFW mention for that picture...
With back hair like that, he should do drag and change his name to "Jennifur Coates"!
What a douche!
His call to MS will be featured on ZuneScene Nightly Zunecast in the morning.

How about Epic Fail Guy?
There's nothing epic about this fail.
Call him Sad Bastard thats a better name.
Mega Tron?
maybe he should be Zun E. Sucs
how about artard
I can't wait to not see him anymore.
That would be cool.
I wish engadget would change that picture. That sort of Visual pollution can cause a person to loose their breakfast.
He needs to get a tattoo on his ass. Then they could finally change that photo.
Chebwa what happened to your cute display pic!? (Chebwa is a hot Emo, check out his Myspace :-) )
Apparently Engadget doesn't realize that by posting stuff like this they are encouraging the guy. Clearly he is starved for attention, and has found a way to get it on a blog with a massive audience.
Stop posting this stuff. I like almost everything you guys here do, but this simply should not be posted.
...an emo?
Three letters, arranged in such a way as to form a word in the english language to convey a query regarding this man's endeavours:
W H Y ?
Esat dude, come on.
You really only needed the last four characters in your post.
It sounded as though you were conjuring some sort of command to launch a mythical super-saiyin gigantically massive ultra tremendous ninja dragon-slayer attack.
You know too much.
(¬_¬)
"Come to find out, the fellow will only need $150 to have it done, so needless to say the mission is back on in a big way."
What the hell kind of English is that? Is that even a sentence?
Well, it has a noun, a verb, and a subject-verb agreement.
If someone piles together wheels, pedals, a frame and some chain, it does not necessarily mean that they have built a bike.
Although some may consider it art.
You are the one who put up a question mark in the middle of your sentence and followed it with a sentence fragment. Also to the gent who said I should get an ass tattoo...I am, of the Apple logo
I sorta like this dude!
And what's his job again?
Also, imagine him trying to walk into a different country:
"Um... Mr. Zune?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Your first name is..."
"Microsoft."
"OK sir, very funny. Now where's your real passport?"
How could anyone hate apple THIS much?
Zune guy doesn't leave the country. All his vacations are to redmond.
At that size I doubt he's able to leave his basement.
I'd like to see Mr. Zune fight Mr. iPod (before Mr. iPod is forced to give up his new name by Apple lawyers).
The question is: who would win?
I can't wait to not see this guy anymore.
That would be cool.
It takes all kinds...
Does it really?
Why?!?
Oh lawdy.

I think I smell buyers remorse.... Wait....no, no its just an idiot brewing a dumb idea.
when I hit comments link under the post it takes me to the comment box at the bottom of the page.
This is not good... Surely there must be some mistake. I usually don't comment until I have read others comments.
I agree....
When I click comments I want to jump to the comments immediatley...read thru them and then comment.
Please fix it dear Engadget.
BTW the new layout looks cool....
Please remove this post or the picture...it BURNS MY EYES!
It's burning my loins.
And I mean that in the best way.
I'm speechless....
LOSER
Hey, each to their own, ay?! Who are you to judge if he is a loser or not??!!
That's my job. And yeah, he's a LOSER!
Is your weed really that dank?
Sad simply sad...Hey were are all the APPLE fanboys? CMON CMON step up to the plate.. i wanna see some dude get a APPLE logo tat on his ass... TRAMP STAMP STYLE..yeah
Apple once again proving it's superior-ness in fandom has the following instead: http://macenstein.com/default/archives/category/mac-chick-of-the-month/ (borderline NSFW depending on tight-ass ness of company you work for)
I'm sure many would agree they'd take that over this abomination any day.
Tom, thank you. Thank you.
forget the fanboys...
fangirls.
nice tom. thank you for sharing that.
