Online People Make a Mockery of Apple's Latest Gadget
Apple's new iPad is getting a lot of buzz and maybe not the kind they were hoping for. More than anything people are wondering what's up with the name? That was all the buzz online, taking in the top spot of trending topics on twitter. And the jokes just wouldn't stop, period. One word sums it all up, iTampon. Don't take our word for it just check out these tweets.
@BruinGirl2001: Will the next version of the #ipad come w/wings? will there be a model called the #itampon?
@wendymolyneux I'm already going through like 4 or 5 iPads a day because of my heavy workflow
@sarahk47: The iChastityBelt will come with a password instead of a key.
@fastcompany: iPad not the first choice for women. Period.
@parisiensalon: The new iPad was definitely designed for women in mind. It comes in 3 sizes: regular, super and maxi.
@zombieshark: It makes me happy that #itampon is the top trending topic. I like knowing that we collectively as a people are twelve years old.
@Yoni seriously though, iPad is the worst naming decision since "attack of the clones."
@jellobean113: Who needs an iPad when you can just use an #iTampon?
@hagbardc: Is it just me, or is everytime Obama says "Jobs" really funny given the events of earlier today in re: the iPad?
@iamtourmalet: #Apple needs to rename the #iPad How about the #MaxiPad instead? It comes in three sizes too!
@TheMissus: Every time someone says iPad, I just think they're from Boston.
The name is leaving many wondering whether or not any women were in that boardroom when the marketing execs thought of it.
And that's what's tweeting from 39's social media butterfly.
