iPad: Digital Feminine Hygiene Product?

Some of you may or may not have heard Apple has released their latest technology the iPad. The newest craze in the consumer technology industry was released yesterday. This device has an App store, browser, able to play games, download books, and much much more.

The technology and concept behind the product is cool. It pretty much resembles a giant iPhone or iPod Touch. No, I'm not going to review this new gadget in this post, but I will post the question: Who the hell approved this product name?

Was it Apple's objective to create such a stir around the name of the product that it forces even those who wouldn't think twice about the new product (like me) to talk and blog about it? If so, well done, Apple. If not, major name fail. After the initial buzz, the number 3 trending topic (third most tweeted about topic in the world) on Twitter was the word "iTampon." Perhaps this is due to the fact that iPad sounds like a digital era feminine hygiene product.

In 2006, MadTV did a skit call the iPad. The cast of MadTV was channeling Nastradamus the day this skit aired.

It's a Girl Thing

Just a list of things that have no explaination. It's a girl thing...

1. I hate when a cute pair of panties suddenly becomes "period underwear." One day earlier, this was a pair of sexy panties that would make your guy blush. Then suddenly, not so sexy.

2. Sometimes we want to just let go of our roles of mother and wife for a while and just be a woman!

3. When we dress sexy, it's usually not about attracting other men, it's about making other women jealous.

4. Sometimes I'm a bitch when I'm around other women I don't know. But, don't just assume it's because I'm threatened by her.

5. I hate shaving my legs. Yes, I understand you like them smooth and that you have to keep shaven. But I have a whole lot more surface area to cover than you!

6. I have 20 pairs of flip flops. They all go with an outfit, maybe two.

7. I like to talk on the phone. I like to text. I'm social. Get over it.

8. Even though there is a closest full of clothes, I still have nothing to wear. No, I can't pick out my outfit the night before because I don't know if I'll feel like wearing that in the morning. Maybe I'll be having a fat day eight hours from now.

Anyone have any more they'd like to share? It's a girl thing...
