The Wailing And Gnashing Of iTeeth
Thousands of years ago, the ancient Mayans developed complex math, the science of astronomy, and an amazingly accurate calendar. Meanwhile one guy at Microsoft forgot all about leap years. It just goes to show you: the past is always better.
Hey, naysayers. You think this Microsoft Zune 30GB Digital Media Player is a waste of money? You think you can still make jokes about thatworldwide Zune shutdown? Well, get this through your thick naysaying skull. The next leap year incident, if it even happens, will happen on the final day of 2012. And you know what? No one will even care. Because we all know that the world is going to end ten days before that.
That’s right, naysayers! The thirteenth b’ak’tun comes to a close on December 21st! Worlds will live! Worlds will die! Nothing will ever be the same! And as you ascend into the belly of the bird shaman as he facilitates our planet’s forward motion across the dimensional plane, your Zune will still be working perfectly!
Of course, thefixfor that bug is pretty simple anyway. And we can assume it won’t take three more years for Microsoft to create a patch. But even if it does, so what? That’s a long time for you former naysayers to be enjoying thirty gigs of music, pictures and video. And what about the Zune-to-Zune sharing? With one of these in your hands, you’re connected to the web ofZune owners worldwide (assuming they’re all standing in range).
Hey, that’s sort of strange. A world brought together by Zunes? A world where everyone is tied together electronically, enjoyingMP3’s, WMAs and ACCs? A world ofJPGSand WMVs andMPEG-4s and H.264s? A world with a built-inFMTuner? A world where anyone canbuy a car adapter for a low, low price? What if the next world that the Mayans predicted… is only for the people who own a Zune? Maybe it’s not, maybe nothing will even happen…BUT CAN YOU AFFORD TO TAKE THE CHANCE???
Naysayers, we urge you, don’t say nay to saying nay to saying nay. Buy one of these 30GB Microsoft Zunes. It might be the only thing standing between you and an eternity beside a bunch of angry Aztecs.
