Man Legally Changing His Name to ‘Microsoft Zune’

by Perceval Mackendrick

Well, good for you! I love how there are these types of people out there, ya know, the ones that will do absolutely anything to suck up to their most beloved company or product. Not to say that they are materialistic, but if you love something this much, then its probably a better idea to maybe find a job or something, lol. Besides, you’re probably spending too much time on it already.

Or it just could be a publicity stunt to get some attention… ? Switched says…

“We can’t say we’d follow in this guy’s footsteps for any amount of money, but boy, does it make for fantastic drama. Shortly after the famed Zune Guy (you know, that cat with a trio of Zune-inspired tattoos?) decided to legally change his name to “Microsoft Zune,” the plan was put on hiatus after hearing that it cost a whopping $500 to get a name swap.

It turns out that the fellow will only need $150 to have it done, so needless to say the mission is back on in a big way. Unfortunately, there still stands a chance of the aforesaid name being denied, so he’s posted up a poll in order to let the general public give him a list of backups. Personally, we’re feelin’ McZunin.” [from Switched]

    Yes, it’s clearly a publicity stunt. If you just look at the person you’ll see that it’s hard for him to be attractive to anyone.

    He got his 5 minutes of fame and attention and now it’s back to his “ordinary” life…
