In the hours since Apple's release of its new Ipad, the interwebs have been abuzz. Many many many of the buzzers have been noting that clearly, Apple does not have ANY women on its marketing team, because if there were even one woman involved in the making of this product, it would not sound like a high-tech menstruation aid.
Here is Bust blogging about how Dudely the Ipad is.
Here is Mad TV spoofing the Ipad... two years ago when no one thought Apple would ever actually name something the Ipad.
There must have been some other name they could have given this thing. But what?
Itablet?
Igear?
Icon?
Iform?
Or, if they were going to go with unfortunate connotations, why not-
Itool?
Since they clearly don't mind sounding a little dumb, why not go with-
Ithing?
Iwhatsit?
Idoohickey?
Really, just calling it "that thing, you know, with the stuff," would have been better than Ipad.
