If you’re one of those people complaining about the Apple iPad…

…because the word “pad” can also refer to a sanitary napkin, best viagra drugstore I think you should consider growing up.

The iPad is clearly named after a writing “pad.”

But it’s also a name that invokes the possibilities of a launch pad.

Or a place to keep all your stuff like a bachelor pad.

And it’s fairly appropriate for a device that is actually operated with the pads of your fingers.

I might not end up buying an iPad, discount viagra but I’m definitely not buying that the name is fatally flawed because of its resemblance to the name of a certain feminine product.

(On the other hand, if it was called the iDouche, I think I’d have an entirely different reaction.)
