Microsoft is 'coaching' NFL announcers not to call Surface an Ipad

[ATearInMyEye]

Nobody ever heard of a tablet

It's safe to say we won't see Jay Cutler in a Microsoft commercial anytime soon. The technology giant is coaching NFL announcers to stop calling their product "iPads"and it appears the Chicago Bears quarterback didn't get the memo.

Either that or he absolutely got the memo. He technically didn't call the Surface an iPad, he said it's a "knockoff iPad," which is about a million times worse. Anecdotally we believe he would be the kid who screams at his parents on Christmas for buying him the wrong tablet and pouts all day long.

They probably would have liked it better if he called it a macbook. Calling the Surface an iPad is an insult to the Surface. The iPad is a blown up cellphone OS and the Surface is a full blown Windows PC.

Surface tablets are so much better than iPads though

What's crazy is the surface and surface pro outclass the iPad and no one seems to care kind of how the Xbox one outclasses the ps4 but no one seems to care.
