Zune fans are PHAT. Yes, PHAT – pretty hot and tempting. They also have a vivid imagination when it comes to their own fan-made advertising. We think YouTube user ButternutJelly is a Zune fan, but we’re not so sure. Clearly drawing inspiration from Tubgirl, he made this short film for Microsoft’s Zune.
