While a Zune digital media player preloaded with porn would be the perfect holiday gift for some, such a device failed to enrich the Christmas spirit of a 12 year old American girl.

Apparently, the girl received the Zune digital player from her parents, who found out - much to their surprise - that they had purchased more than their money's worth. The Zune media player that Chanell Martin (the mother) and Derrick Woods (the father) had given their 12 year old daughter contained the basic package associated with the device, minus the charger, but nowhere in the player's manual did they found references related to the pornographic content of the Zune. Chanell Martin revealed that the Zune contained a videotaped homosexual orgy that carried on for one hour and 44 minutes.

Seems to me like the work of some anti-Zune people done to ruin the image of Zune in peoples eyes. We should ignore such news as we know Microsoft would never do such things.

Everyone knows it was not done by Microsoft, but it is an interesting tidbit of news nevertheless. Thanks! :)

I think the player was surely used by someone previously. These type of things cannot occur in factory fresh ones.

This is not true. It cannot be a marketing strategy.

Yes,I noticed that first....Is she is the girls mother ?

I think it is true....the player is used by some one....maybe the shop-owner himself....and MS don't need to do this to sell their products.

It was probably done by the retail store to increase sales.

That is quite possible, but dude, it does not take a second to know how long a video clip is - you do not need to watch the whole thing to know that. :)
