One infomercial actor was tired of people stealing his iPod. Then he had a brilliant idea. He invented the Hide-a-Pod, which masks your iPod as a BROWN ZUNE -- which nobody would ever want to steal. (Note, this is a hoax product.)

thats funny, I have a Zune and think it's alot better than an iPod..guess I don't fall in line with the masses!!!
me to, zunes rock
Yeah, I love my zune, it pwns any ipod out there, and I payed the same as a video ipod and got the radio standard! (50 USD for Ipods)
zune is gay
zune (paid?) apologists are gayer
zunes look horrible, are full of useless gimmics and to top it off are made by microsoft. gross. iv had 4 i pods stolen. and will i buy another?
of course i willlll!
Not even gonna get involved in the ipod/zune debate, but - how do you get 4 Ipods stolen? Were you going for the world record?
"Are yew some kin' ah ree-tawrd?"
Do you think Gates and Ballmer whip out their Zunes and squirt each other in private?
yea... i like your comment anonymous. it actually makes an important statement... whist ipod makes a digressive statement in it's name alone. have you ever heard of windows me. its supposed to be a play on a word, to personalize the product while emphasizing the transition to a new millennium, which at the time was the mass craze. i, is the exact same play on words, while pod is an encapsulation of the product. in other words, i pod is merely a good product whose fuel is based not only on it's abilities but by mass interest, much like what these people are claiming. while the zune is only a very very slight bit different in comparison to an ipod on a scale that includes the sony erriccson it would only make sense to enjoy difference, and celebrate it, although microsoft created it, which is why i bought the new sansa. mwahahaha! so yea. this picture is amusing but it's the same logic as taking a picture of a white guy dressed up in a black mans costume and putting a comment below depicting that he is trying to avoid getting a job. which is completely dysfunctional logic, racist and will ultimately result in conflict. it is about as true as a square circle. however the same logic is used when making this statement. illogical value placement. i hope this amuses you, because much like diogenes has identified, you can make a eunuch out of a man, but sadly... you cannot make a man out of a eunuch. metaphorically speaking of course.
oh and btw, the whole me, and i phase is only at it's peak atm. so yes, it is mass movement. it's abuse of the human psyche. it even spawned a huge debate on the progressive or digressive influence it has on the human mind as a society, whether regional, national or global. all results have depicted a sad sad future, and it's suggested focus is the whole personalizing phase. it's a marketing ploy enjoyed by all sorts of companies. it's why i chose the new sansa, it's name actually fully represents the product.
lol i don't own any ipod or zune crap if i wanna hear my music i got my ppc or my cell phone with an incredible sound and less money.plus i have a gps receiver and more nice goodies in one device.but if i had to stole an ipod or a zune i would took the zune.is more preety and it's a microsoft.actually ipod has the limit to download with this stupid itunes.
So, buying a iPod is following the masses and a zune is not? I remember the days when buying Apple products was defying the status quo and buying Microsoft crap made you a mindless sheep.
MS hasn't the ability to innovate whatsoever. Their strategy has been and still is "Rip off, modify, resell." They did it with the first Windows, they did it again with the Zune, and now they're doing it some more with Vista. Personally, I still refuse to buy anything made my MicroSuck. No windows, no Zune. Heck, I wont even buy an Xbox.
P.S. The i in iPod is not a play on words refering to "I" as in "myself." It was carried over from the prior line of iProducts: the iMac and iBook. If you recall the late 90's, hooking up a computer, installing software for internet access, and making it all work was a real hassle. The "i" products were designed to make connecting to the internet really, really easy. The "i" stands for internet.
if iPods are the things getting stolen more then a Zune, it just tells you how much a Zune sucks.
So i guess paying 300 dollars or more for an ipod and over 500 dollars for a cellphone gimmick, media player isn't a rip off? do you realize the high profit margins that apple makes off these products?
One thing that all of you mac fanboys fail to realize is that the world runs on windows there's no way that mac can seriously compete with microsoft, they just haven't in the past 20 years. Also the reason macs never get viruses etc is because the people who create these viruses don't care enough about apple os to actually spend the time to program a virus and hack into your "computers".

Umm... and having someone NOT hack into our computers is a BAD thing?
Dumbass. Do you think getting herpes from the captain of the football team is some kind of status symbol? Are you more popular because you got the clap from the student body president?
Whatev. Macs rock.
^^^ Well put. If the "i" stands for internet that what internet function does a iPod have? I own both video iPod and a Zune. The zune is better with more features built in, instead of having to buy a shity attachment for the iPod. Also the zune is wireless... thats more "internet" than the iPod, either way the are just MP3 players put out by a over grown company, Creative's Rio works just as well and cost less, but I just like toys so I own them all....
:( my arrows were for the post above this one, screw mac, it's all the same shit, mac just cost three times as much.
i love all the petty people that post on forums and pages like these. they can all shove their ipods to where your warranty is voided! then get a zune!
I just got a 30G brown zune
for 100 dollars
and u pay 105 dollars for a 2G ipod
....
Zune has awesome pic quality
in the end tho they are just mp3 players...
nuthin worth fightin bout
Funny.
My Zune was just stolen.

Actually, there ARE tech-retarded people who would steal a Zune, so hiding it in an empty Zune case wouldn't be as efficient as, say, an Altoids case
