Portable
Zune Originals Steve Ballmer Edition (We Miss Gates So Much)
Posted by Mark Wilson at 1:18 AM on November 17, 2007
This Zune Original Steve Ballmer edition is good. Its unapologetic adolescent humor was jut the ticket to making us lol a bit on a Friday morning. (In truth, it's tough to screw up a Ballmer parody.) But it made little Christmas lights illuminate in our otherwise dusty heads. Our question to you: Who wouldn't want a Bill Gates edition Zune, complete with dorky laser-etched caricature and maybe a few soundclips from the big man himself? Seriously, it would sell like the metaphorical "hot cakes," if said metaphor were to procreate with a popular portable media player. So let's make this happen, Microsoft.

@low_dirt: damn iPhone corrective typing at work, airbrushing out the character scars of my angry-man textual pontifications.

Where's the sweat dripping from his arm-pits?
It's not real Ballmer if it isn't perspiring to the point where they need some sort of floating oil boom to keep it contained... LMAO

Like many of you, I am Amish (actually, Mennonite), and am perturbed at the satanic reference etched into one of my peoples' favorite gadgets. I certainly hope no one condones this unholy juxtaposition by stuffing a stocking with this travesty of taste anytime zune, I mean soon! See, I'm so upset by this I can barely speak.

Leave Bill Alone!!!! He's busy saving Africa and stuff. If they're going to make an engraving with Bill, it has to be done at la Angelina Jolie with angels at his feet, and a halo around his head.

Yea, too bad Bill is retiring to manage the his charitable foundation.
I guess you could make fun of the fact that he only donated $29 billion since 2000.

If there is one thing I miss it's Bill Gates and making jokes about him. Ballmer may be weird and insane but he's not nor will he ever be Bill.
