Microsoft Employees at the Zune Headquarters in Redmond Washington are refusing to give up their iPods. In an attempt to force staff to give up their ipods without retribution, the Zune staff have installed an “iPod Amnesty” bin.

“After been out for a week, the effort has been pretty much a bust” says insiders, “much like the Zune itself” they added.

“The iPod amnesty was to give us a chance to make some money out of the Zune Player” says sources inside Microsoft. “We have our Ebay store ready to go with the surrendered iPods. We tried selling Zunes on ebay but they turned out even less popular than our ‘tickle me BillG’ soft toy “.

“We will continue to look for innovative ways to make money on the Zune as obviously the general market continues to be oblivious to our marketing efforts.” says Microsoft PR.
