Apple unveiled its long-awaited iPad yesterday, and while it might be a terrific computing device, it has a name that will make millions of women think of one thing only. Period.
Here are some of the funny comments on Twitter, as compiled by the Winnipeg Free Press:
LizB: iPad. was there a woman on this naming team? will there be different sizes? Mini iPad, maxi iPad?
Gelatobaby: And you can use the giant QWERTY keyboard to get your period on the #iPad !
herbadmother: Seriously, 'iPad?' There are too many of us for whom the phrase 'my pad just failed' evokes horror that should never be linked to technology
