Reminds me of the time Nintendo came up with the world's stupidest name for a console, the Wii.

The jokes that came out then too.



The name "iPad" was made fun of a lot too when it was first announced (being compared to tampons and stuff).

That aside, I think iLoo is a genuinely stupid idea and no amount of rebranding could've saved it.


I remember in the announcement they had a great tagline that completely changed my reaction from "lol, stupid name" to "OK that is good" - Wii will change everything
