Engadget logo makes top 10 in crazed man's tattoo contest

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?

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.

Of all the Engadget posts in all the world, this has been the most useless.

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.
