When trying to figure out which portable media player to buy, make sure to steer clear of the iPod section. Its full of misguided attempts by that perverted Apple (can you hear the bile in my voice?) to subvert your mind and your music. Look to the Zune as a source of freedom and song-sharing goodness.

Why? Because Microsoft loves you, and to prove that, they’re practically giving away their Zunes at bargain-basement prices. Take the 8GB 2nd-generation Zune, for instance. Its a real thunderball of media-pumping power, and it can be all yours for a mere US$179.

Okay, its really because NOBODY wants the Zune. Everyone wants the iPod. I wonder why.
