We've had our fair share of laughs from
Zune Guy's obsession with inking his body with permanent reminders of just how infatuated he is with Redmond's PMP, but we must say, it's a bit weirder to see someone coming ever closer to doing the same with
our logo. Apparently one Egor Lavrov has established a tattoo contest in which he accepts donations as votes for logos, and after the polls close, he has agreed to give 25% of the money raised to charity and 25% to the person who submitted the winning tattoo idea. Oh, and he's going to get the most highly ranked image inked on his arm. We'd be dubious about paying to cast a vote (read: we'd refrain entirely), but what's up with our model being on steroids, anyway?

That photo better be PhotoShoped, otherwise- ewww...
yeah its a photoshop
because if its real then yeah.. thats not muscle, google synthol idiots
those guys are hated by the bodybuilders
This is the real picture of the guy:

or you can just click the read link and see photos of the guy.
Engadget... pay him $50 to get yours.... then immediately change your logo.
if that isn't a fake picture of his arm, what's even weirder is that his other arm isn't anywhere near that developed, considering that he wouldn't be able to move it enough to get it to his other shoulder...
Is he Reggie, the Guardian?
Click the link. It's a fake. Why Engadget is the only fake, I do not know.
The body belongs to Greg Valentino.http://www.ebicep.com/greg-valentino.html
let's get him a hello kitty tattoo
Seconded
I prefer the Pedobear.

I think those are user submitted and someone likes the combination of Roids and The Big E...
steroids can get you biceps that huge? Flexing his arm in a shopping mall must be like dropping a magnet in a metallic farm: chicks become attracted to this man at astronomical levels!
Haha, doubt it.
It's not a matter of attracting chicks, it's what _kind_ of chicks does it attract?
I suspect it's "chicks" missing a tooth (or more!), with first names ending in i, and originating from Daytona Beach, FL or some similar trailer-trash town.
(truth in advertising: Go help me, I live in Florida - for 20+ freakin' years! - but thankfully, I'm a born New Englander, like 95% of the rest of the schmoes here)
True, women always equate muscle size with penis size. You pencil-necked computer nerds wouldn't stand a chance to be chick magnets unless you carried a couple of iPhones. As much as you people type comments in Engadget you'd only get bulked up fingers. Not very impressive at all.
Bulked up fingers = BABE ATTRACTING FAIL
My avatar would attract more babes than most of you. Of course, he carries a big banana at all times. Hot babes like big bananas.
to the contrary.
You know what bulked up fingers are good for right?
Dialing in a phone number for pizza.
Yeah, but if your fingers are to big you have to order a dialling wand by mashing the keypad.
I'ts Brolly! lol wow his arm is hugeee!! rofl
Nobody on EARTH would want an engadget logo on them, FUGLY LOGO
engadget the worst logo ive ever seen
Could be worse; they could've given themselves a terrible name like, oh, say, "^ Fusion Fuzo" or something.
BLASHPEMY
Or they could've named it something stupid like "Zune."
;)
It's the arm from the self-proclaimed "Most Hated Man in Bodybuilding". This guy has Synthrol injected into his deltoids and biceps to make his arms artificially big and freaky looking. Pretty much looks like subcutaneous tennis balls.
Pedobear would be kind of funny. If the *chans find out I'm sure there are a bunch of people there that would pay for that to win.
or EFG
It's here, check my comment below for the link.
Screw that, I'm voting for pedobear
ASL?
Looks like Engadget has its own little Pedobear
those biceps look like tumors.
...its not a tumor!
i'm a cop, you idiot!
That guy lives in my country (Dominican Republic)....
Egor, is the owner of various companies, including bars, restaurants, construction companies, Apple stores......
Never thought i would see something so close to me here in E. :P
That guy spends wayyyyy too much time masturbating. He should switch it up once and a while for symmetry's sake.
i dont think id trust hands that powerfull in my pants.
injury waiting to happen
Well, I certainly wouldn't pull "The Stranger" with that hand; too much power, too little sensitivity.
hahaah the engadget tattoo has gone from like #12
to #2 since this was posted.
I just voted for Obama with Paypal. Don't see why I should refrain.
"Digg is" version with dog on it is funny too.
Go Obama!
I do not give 2 shits.
@Samboini - how about 1 then? Perhaps just a half?
Then he should change his name to Engadget +-!
Can you use symbols as last names?
Sorry Engadget, but if Im was to send that guy money, I would be placing my vote for the Pedobear.
I find that much more hilarious that some buff guy having your logo on his arm.
Now if he only had an Edgadget tattoo and a Pedobear tattoo.
It should be in magenta
I can make this happen. Pedobear, engadget on magenta. Will you vote for such thing? I win those $16000, he gets tattoo, Engadget and Pedobear are perpetuated :)
Acknowledging this is Photoshopped, wasn't there a guy getting arrested on COPS with arms like that?
Out of the ones in the top 20, I'd say he deserves Hello Kitty or Pedobear.
For what it's worth -- the FAQ says he'll be getting the tattoo on his hand, and he seems to insinuate that he might chop off his hand afterwards.

This guy is freaking rich as hell.
Why would we donate money to him?
LMAO, check this out. Pedobear and Engadget together!
Hell yeah, I'm voting.
http://www.tattoolizator.com/en/view_tattoo.php?id=496
pedogadget?
*shivers run down spine*
Let's all work together and get Rick Astley on there.
Isn't that the same as pedobear?!
We're up to second place! Only 10 more votes and we can be forever branded on his arm...then again thats not exactly a good thing.
so.. the guy will make like 200 bucks, big whoop
Of all the Engadget posts in all the world, this has been the most useless.

mmm... 1st place is very nice tattoo =)
I think this is a russian ruble pic...
ckybe respect )
So let me get this straight, he is going to get a logo tattooed for money and without even being truely infatuated with the logo he is getting. He left it up to vote and is taking money. I also think its a crime to accept donations and say it will go to a charity if you do not have the proper paperwork filled out. But either way he is not a superfan he is just a loser copier who is doing it for money.
Gordon?!? Gordon Freeman!! I can't believe it!!
storing nuts for ze winter perhaps?
This guy is Gross!!!
Boby building is Sooooo bad for you. and probably shoots roids too!
had to say it.
