Apparently distraught over their utter lack of market-share, all of the approximately eighteen 30-gig Zunes in the wild have apparently committed mass suicide (is their number large enough to be considered a “mass suicide” or is it simply “suicide together”? –ed).
No word on the fate of fat-harry-zune tattoo guy.
You can read more on this breaking story as it develops at Wired or Ars.
Update: I don’t know why the picture of the dude with the Zune tattoo shows up on the RSS feed, next to the title making folks believe that he might be an ‘iPod killer’ or that he might have killed himself. Sorry zune tattoo guy…

That would explain the “tons of reports.”
It might have been just me but I automatically connected the title with the picture and thought that “Zune Guy” ended his life.
Wow.
Hahaha, love the first comment.
I know… that’s why I had to put the “update” on there to explain… the RSS feed on Yahoo made it look totally misleading.
