Buy Zune. Get free iTunes card. Exchange Zune for iPod. Unvconventional, but it would work!

Too damn funny. I can't wait to show this to my boss later. heh heh

All 3 Zunes sold in the past 2 months were returned immediately.

The social is out there somewhere.

It's all going embarrasingly wrong for Microsoft at the moment.

If a dork is a waiter who spills soup in a guy's lap and a geek is the guy he spills it on, then what is Microsoft?

I mourn the loss of so many innocent chairs.

This must be a hoax. I cannot believe that anyone with common sense could actually approve this ad. This level of incompetence would be cause for immediate dismissal, right?

Buy a Zune and get an "rebate" on the future Phune, or the Phune Home Edition, or Phune Premium Home Edition, Phune Pro Edition, Phune Premium Pro Edition, or the Super Phune Extra Functional Premium Pro Edition that can actually make calls.

That's easy. MS is painful blisters from being burned.

Less is More: That sounds tempting but do any of those come with Spam ?

That should be sent to Jay Leno. He often has those funny ad bits.

@Dirty Pierre le Punk

...easy.

Microsoft is the lawyer retained by the geek to sue te dork.

"FREE $15 iTunes Gift Card instantly with purchase."

Shows how much they value Apple products...they give them away.

Nope that is standard operating procedure at CompUSA. The dolts in Dallas are some of the laziest pieces wasted flesh on the planet. I have seen entire runs of shelf talkers be completely wrong. And no one catches it until the customer points it out and gets something for free.

Actually, when you think of it from the perspective of behemoth corporate management it makes perfect sense...

Setting: CompUSA executive meeting room

Exec #1: "We're taking a bath on these Zunes! We've gotta figure out a way to move these turds. We've canceled any future orders, but we're stuck with the ones we've got..."

Exec #2: "Maybe if we offered them an incentive of some kind..."

Exec #1: "Something related to their purchase to get the MP3 player customer interested..."

Exec #1: "Hey, my kid uses iTunes Music store! I actually have an allowance set up for him to buy so many songs on a weekly basis! Why don't we give them a iTunes gift card... Those are relatively cheap, and we know they sell by themselves!"

Exec #2: "Great idea! I'll get down to advertising right away!"

I wonder if anyone actually fell for it.

Where or where is ZOON WANG?

I know, getting musing at the iTunes Store!

ROFLMAO!

What surprises me most is that they are even advertising the Zune.

Original post has been taken down, but here is a Flickr photo someone took at a CompUSA who didn't catch it.

I hear ExLax moves brown turds along just fine...or a high-fiber diet.

MW: Next - "The next iPod killer to fail - the Zune"
