Horrific Zune ad

[avram]

I saw a Zune for the first time the other day, in Best Buy. Ever noticed how old technology — like, if you look at an early Walkman nowadays — looks bulky and clunky? That’s what the Zune looks like new. Like it’s an iPod made in Soviet Yugoslavia.

Worse still is the advertising. Check this out:

Ah, the infamous Zune Penis Monster. We tried to figure that one out when the Zune first shipped. Apparently, if you buy one, a horrible monster will CRAP an EYEBALL into your COCK. Or something.

As an stand alone animation, it's great.

As for delivering the "share music with your friends" message, um, no.

Sharing music should not be like having an eyeball shoved into one's flaccid boy bits.

Soviet Yugoslavia

Losing the diustinction ebtween Communist and Soviet, as the Cold War reccedes into history? Yugoslavia (like Albania) was Communist, but free of Soviet domination.

I think I need to be stoned or something to appreciate this add.

I'm still trying to figure out what it even is intended to mean.

I mean, my first thought was "no, don't go with he ipod, it's a horrible crapping eye-monster." But the "music is like eyes, and with a zune, you can be a horrible crapping eye-monster and share music with your blind friends" message is equally improbable.

OK, the "what were they thinking?" factor made it worth downloading over dialup.

And remember: Your new eyeball will last only for three days or three uses.
