Discovered lurking behind the pub at Toolleen in central Victoria.

The new Mac's iPad: Where was Peggy Olsen when Apple needed her?

The new Apple iPad has just been released, which looks pretty cool and is another step towards making e-books more friendly... but what were they thinking (or not thinking) when they named it?

They definitely needed Peggy Olsen (from MadMen) in their marketing department to point out the obvious.

 Or Sam, perhaps, from Bewitched to smile apologetically at the new name suggestion and go 'We-ell..'

Or maybe they just needed to watch more (Mad) tv... (This skit is from 2007.)

If they wanted a name that instantly went viral and got blogged and tweeted about... well they got it.

Have fun reading these riffs on the iPad concept collected by Jezebel and make sure you scroll down to the even funnier comments from its readers (including comments from a few from men who don't find it funny).

And before you ask, No, you are strongly advised not to go swimming or horseback-riding while using the iPad. Gotta wait for the iTampon before doing that.
