Today, Woot has a great parody of Steve Jobs’s open letter about the iPhone price drop. The delicious irony is that the parody deals with Woot’s sale of a Microsoft Zune player. The parody begins:
I have received more than three emails from Zune buyers who are upset about Woot dropping the price of the Zune by $20 one month after it went on sale the first time. After reading every one of these emails, or at least scanning their subject lines, I have some observations and conclusions.
First, I need to make a better effort to hide my email address.
Second, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 30GB Zune from $149.99 to $129.99. This confidence is based on more than the holy doctrine of corporate infallibility. The Zune is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to “ride the lightning†and “shoot the curl†this holiday season, not to mention “kill the messenger†and “rock the voteâ€, further enabling us to “pay the rent†and “keep the lights onâ€. It benefits both Woot and every Zune user (but especially Woot) to drag as many new victims as possible into the Zune “dungeonâ€. We strongly believe that misery loves company this holiday season.
I encourage you to click over and read the whole parody. It’s even funny when you compare it paragraph by paragraph with the original.
