See the beginnings of a lifetime of regret

Zune tattoo Half the staff here is old enough to have done things that they’re now mature enough to look back upon and regret [We will not tell you which half. -DM]. Today, we get to see the beginning stages of one of those things that will haunt a person for the rest of their days.

You would think that getting one Zune tattoo as shown in the attached picture would be a mistake quickly realized. Not quite, it got repeated. What’s worse, it’s from a Zune advertisement. One horrible, creepy thought came into my brain. What if someone got John Hodgman’s face on one arm and Justin Long on the other? They might start talking to each other in the middle of the night.

“I’m a Mac.” “And I’m a PC.” And I’m having night terrors.

I have a couple of tattoos that I kinda regret getting. I was 19 or 20 and now I am approaching 40. The difference 20 years has had on me is almost immeasurable. I certainly would not want a walkman logo tattooed on my arm--not that I have one--but it is comparable.

hmm, that individual certainly seems inconsistent with Microsoft's targeted 'life-style' advertisements. i thought only young gorgeous models aged 18-25 used zunes?

Lest we forget, DM probably has 3 halves...

People are way too emotional. Seriously, these people need to get a real life.

And I guess I must be even older but back then, tattoos were for real rebels and not run-of-the-mill cute girls and wanna be attitude guys. OK, generalization but it sure looks like the trend these days with tattoos everywhere.
