Me: Oh look, they’ve released a pink Zune. Would you like one for Christmas?
Her: I’d rather stick my head on a pike.
Although on closer reading of the article, it seems that the pink Zunes are a very rare limited edition and they are not marked as such. Consequently the guy who bought it thought he was getting a white one, didn’t like the pink, saw an opportunity and promptly put it on eBay.
Honestly, that’s a stroke of genius only matched by releasing a brown Zune in the first place.
You can just see little Jimmy’s parents in some electronics shop going:
Parent: Oh look, there’s one of those Zune things Jimmy wants. Excuse me, Mr Shop Assistant, we’d like to buy a Zune.
Shop Assistant: Wonderful, here you go.
Parent: Excellent, he’s going to be so pleased.
Of course, the parents left it to the last minute and the black/white Zunes sold out a long time ago – something the shop assistant neglects to mention lest it should damage his chances of making a commission and/or missing his sales target.
Little Jimmy then spends the next six months being bullied at school for having a poo coloured Zune before it’s finally stolen and destroyed by muggers on the bus who can’t bear to suffer it’s existence any longer. Little Jimmy is secretly thankful.
