The more of this guy that's covered up, the better.
lol Was just gonna say he has plenty of room for more tattoos....
What's he gonna do, score his body with a laser machine when Windows 7 flops? (I use vista so, no Im not a phan boi)..
A Giant Steve Jobs face would be an appropriate F' U to Microsoft...
C'mon Zune Guy. You couldn't depilitate you back for this picture? Seriously?
Best first comment evar.
ahahah definitely, and i think he has something on this index finger(a wart?) pls cover yourself up!
To complicate matters, Zune Guy legally changed his name to just "ZG" a few months ago. You know, for street cred.
Shaving the head too would have helped, ZG.
I think to cover up that one tattoo he will just stop shaving his back
"score" and "his body" shall not be used in the same sentence
shave that bitch and tan him
I think this guy has been expelled from "The Social" long before today..
Thanks Engadget, I'm sitting here eating lunch. Not so hungry anymore.
Slow news day will give you tremendous back hair. Ew.
Welcome To The Poon
This guy was expelled from the social long before the Zune even came out.
Holy crap... So you mean I can finnaly flame the Zune becuase even the Zune Guy admits its a failure? Oh, i bet i can't. The MS nerds will still down rate me.
Well suck it Bill Boys! Apple forev....
/gets dragged off stage
Just take out the "all you can eat" buffet from The Social and he'll have to leave.
Idiot!
Yeah. The Zune logo isn't even that bad of a tattoo on it's own, either. Kind of cool looking.
Cooler looking than the flesh underneath it, at least.
HAHAHAHA, I allways was laughing about this guy but now ... I even laugh more. HAHAH :D cant stop laughing :D
You remind me of the guys in "Dude, Where's My Car?"
Dude, Sweet, Dude, Sweet, Dude ...

Ray, Fu*ked me, Ray, Fu*ked me!
tool.
I, met a boy, wearing Vans, 501s, and a
Dope orange t, nasty teeth,
Zune tattoos that claim that he
Was socially,
back from '92,
Windows ME.
@Decoy thanks for putting that song in my head now :)
cruel and unusual having to see this guy for the third time, e-gadg.
He should get an Engadget Mobile tattoo and piss off T-Mobile!
So he'll get the mobile, this guy will get the standard
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/20/engadget-logo-makes-top-10-in-crazed-mans-tattoo-contest/
now all we need is someone to get the HD logo. Any takers?
Oh God. Everytime I see that picture, I just can't control my laughter.
You cant controll your laughter? ha, i cant even controll my badger
Baka!
English please.
"Stupid!"
also
"Assh0le!"
baka means "idiot" or "stupid" in japanese.
It also means fat FCKN cow in spanish.
Ha HA, maybe not.
I don't know what happened to this guy, but I still like my 30gb zune.
HAHA I got banned for calling him on his massive Fail. What a TOOL!
idiot
my eyes! it burns!
u might want to get that checked out. could be contagious u know
Caught this guy's post this morning. Normally I try not to laugh at the mentally ill, but dang this was just funny from start to finish.
I like my Zune & all, but getting a brand logo tattoo is just grotesquely stupid. And now he decides he's not that big of a fan after all? This guy needs his own reality show.
The still images we've had to endure of him already are quite enough, thanks.
I don't think anyone here wants to see him in motion on network television.
I love my Zune and don't care what anybody thinks!
this should be considered a 'win' for the Zune...
I hate my Zune. I wish MS would give us the things we've been asking for on their site. Like a god damned clock for starters, and actually trying to make it a better MP3 player than a bloody PSP
does wearing long sleeve count as "cover up"?
What a knob!
Hopefully, the tat chimp will use a dirty needle and end up passing on some hep-c to go along with Tubby's cover-up.
i think you meant to say "the tit champ"
That's terrible. I really hope he reconsiders. He is after all, the best person to use for representing the Zune. A letter writing campaign must be initiated. Perhaps the usual suspects should spearhead that initiative.
I'm sure clak would love to head this campaign....
Wasn't this always more of a "when" than an "if" anyway? We all knew this moron would eventually be shamed into removed/covering these things.
Where can we get laser Zune-Guy removal ? ?
the picture makes me losing appetite.
so _that's_ why there's always leftovers for him!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!
"Welcome to the Fail"
That's some funny s***!
Fail!
That is some serious self OWNAGE!
Good call Zune guy. I like Zunes hardware, but the inability to use Win Mobile phones and devices on Zune's site is unforgivable. Why would you create a mobile OS and a music service and not make them compatible.
I gave up on MS attempts at music when they shut down URGE and passed me to Rhapsody, then dropped support for playsforsure while still using DRM. And Zune guy also has a good point; why no connectivity for Zune and Xbox live?
yeah.... that's the real reason you shouldn't get product tats
Ugly people deserve to have ugly Zunes, nothing better.
fanboy alert.... SOUND THE ALARM!!!
And you know that from personal experience do ya?
@grull27
I agree. I have never seen an attractive person with a Zune. Only fat guys.
So do attractive people get the attractive Zunes? Is there some sort of judge behind the counter when you buy one? That would be a very complicated setup.
Everyone, please.
Type the word fail into Google. Look at the first image you see.
You Bastard! I just got RickRolled.
I got a Ghostbusters tattoo that I need redone with better detail. I guess I am in the "same category" as this guy, but on the other hand not really. Ghostbusters was/is apart of American culture, 2nd most recognizable logo in the world, and well now in 2008 there is a come back.
In the end, don't tattoo ANYTHING you are not happy with, especially not something like Zune, Apple, etc. GB is classic and always be, why I think at least, was good choice. I hope we can cover it up well.
um...
I couldn't even think of the Ghostbusters logo off of the top of my head...
How crazy... 2nd most recognized must mean every single person that ever tries to recall the ghostbuster logo should be able to and if every person can't than it's obviously not a very recognizable logo... Right, Conor.
I am curious though as to where that statistic came from, seems like a hard thing to test. Especially world wide.
I'd run to the Ghostbusters Logo before I'd run to the Red Cross.
Save me Venkman!
all i know is that signourney weaver had EXTRA BIG ASS HAIR
I'm not going to hate on you. I understand that recognized means if you see it you know what it is. Not, you can describe what it looks like of the top of your head. I recognize the Coca Cola logo but I bet I couldn't replicate it exactly without looking. I don't know of too many logos I could replicate without looking. The Chevy bowtie and the Nike swoosh come to mind. Other than that, not so much. Maybe Motorola's. You understand.
Wow. That dude is a beast.
he's flesh enough to be fickle
Your first tattoo: $200
Your second tattoo: $250
Notoriety for getting Zune tattoos: Priceless!
Regretting your original decisions: EPIC FAILURE!!!
What an absolute moron!! Maybe this guy will re-think his life direction now that he's made a complete ass of himself in front of an Internet audience of millions!!!!
Does look like WM 6.1 tough
oops wrong paste
Wait, didn't he change his name to "Microsoft Zune"? Is he going to change that back too?
How can anybody get fed up with the Zune, I mean seriously. (no, seriously. Really. I mean it!), I wonder what he'll go with from here- Convergance device maybe? (Iphone) maybe some Zen or something. Just anything but the disgusting ipod.
Yeah.....because I mean really, (no, really), who owns an iPod?? That must be some niche market device right?
haha what an idiot :)
"disgusting" iPod? How much of a Zune fanboy do you have to be to say something like that? And of course let's not forget that the Zune was MS's attempt at making an iPod. IRONY ALERT
MS's Attempt at making an Ipod??? No, idiot, it was Microsoft's attempt at making a social Media player. And they succeeded. It will soon be an awesome mobile gaming system too (already is, but it's in beta from right now for the developers)
Oh right, I'm sure it was just a coincidence that years after the iPod came out and began to dominate the player market, MS decided they needed to take over and built a player that copied Apple's form factor. If you have half a brain, you will recognize the similarities between the Zune and the iPod if you look at them. Rectangular screen with round control surface centered underneath it.
Yeah, I'm sure that was a coincidence. You know there are plenty of players that don't look like an iPod. The Zune isn't one of them.
Hey Sam, the sooner you remove yourself from Microsoft's cock, the sooner you can resume normal breathing and help your delirious, oxygen starved opinions recover.
MS created the Zune because they saw how Apple was dominating the MP3 player market and they wanted a piece of the pie. Period! You're a tool to think otherwise.
How appropriate that MS throws a social, and hardly anyone shows up.
Sam, still don't think that MS is riding the coattails of Apple?
http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/07/24/ms.zune.phone.begins/
Woa. Are you saying that every mp3 player that has a rectangular screen and a circular navigating device underneath it is copying the ipod's design scheme?
He brings the real meaning back to the phrase "The Biggest Loser."
In any event, it would be an interesting thing to see him on that show. Can you imaging how that would work out for MS?
In ALL aspects of the phrase!
what?? Oh shit, he was zune's only user :(
I actually do know another one.. So that's at /least/ two.
I want to get a Zune im in the UK but they sell them on eBay hopefully i wont have any problems (no warantee right). Im just waiting to see what apple launch this year. If nothing good ill go for a Zune.
ohh i have a 5g 30gb video ipod atm and the Zune is the only other option in my view.
thanks for updating us
So, does this mean he is not going to change his name to Microsoft Zune?
What a tool.
When rednecks get gadgets. I guess that's what happens when your parents are cousins. What a damn tool.
This is actually a very sad story. And some of the remarks on the guy are really inappropriate. Clearly someone liking MS and the zune so much must be a person not to ridicule. From day 1 i thought the story was very sad and knew immediately that this was bound to happy. All people laughing with this guy knew that also s why rubb it in that much. I think Apple should give this guy an iPod Touch with a binding contract stating he may not use any of the Apple logo's and trademarks on his body.
Ohhh you're so moral and right. This dude invited ridicule. You know it, everyone else knows it, yet you play all high and mighty as if there's some sort of high ground here. He's stupid, and you're stupid for defending him, which one of you is dumber? Well at least you don't have a permanent mark of your stupidity, people have to wait for you to open your mouth to find that out.
I just feel bad for the tattooist that has to touch this moron again. No wonder they wear rubber gloves.
Personally, I love my Zune 4. Much more so than the 8GB Nano3G I had previously(which my wife inherited).
