Not only is homeboy getting his tats removed he went ahead and bought an iPod.

And low and behold its a black iPod Classic 80gb. When I was in Best Buy I looked around at the other players, the sold no creatives in the store, the only choices with iPods, Zunes, Insignas, Samsung and Sony. So when looking at which had everything available in store (I despise UPS) I went with the iPod. I more than likely will regret this decision but I will let you all know down the road. I do like the weight and feel of the device thus far.

Hell hath no fury like a fanboy scorned.

To recap: Zune Guy loved the Zune. He got three tattoos related to the Zune. He wanted to change his name to Microsoft Zune. He got amazing coverage from everyone. Microsoft sent him a Zune. Microsoft sort of promised him a trip to Redmond but then rescinded the offer because they don’t want 500 copycats calling themselves Microsoft Active Directory Services or Microsoft Shell and asking for free trips. Zune Guy got angry. Zune Guy promises to get tats removed. Zune Guy buys an iPod. Zune Guy is nuts.
