Rubbish
Next you'll be telling us NASA is lame having all those rocket pads and how could IBM have called their laptops ThinkPads and oh man all those batchelor pads, legal notepads and how dorky are those football players with their shoulder pads and don't tell skaters their knee pads are baaaaad or the height of uncoolness, Rap stars with their synth pads and drum pads.
Media beat-up pure and simple.
