The software behemoth is giving away 50 Zune media players as part of a “Make MSN Your Homepage” promotion. Read the rules, though, and you’ll see you don’t actually have to make MSN your homepage to enter. You do have to agree to “hold harmless Microsoft Corporation” and its affiliates “from any and all liability or any injuries, loss or damage of any kind arising from or in connection with this sweepstakes or acceptance or use of any prize won.” This could turn out to be a rather large concession given the nature of the “prize.” But we mention all this merely to make the following old-fashioned, hand-crafted joke: What’s second prize — two Zunes?

Promotion is only open until February 28, 2007. This is for US residents only.
