Dear Nike: there are thousands of us out here who enjoy your Armband for Gen 4 iPod Nano, but strap it to a certain body part other than our arms. By calling this an armband, you make us invisible as customers and as human beings.

We can’t help the physical gifts we’ve been endowed with. We, too, like to be able to see our iPod Nano screens while we’re in the midst of intense physical activity. We, too, appreciate the tactile no-look control and sweat-resistant cover – especially the sweat-resistant cover. Yet every time we stretch its ultra-soft, lightweight fabric and adjust the low-profile closure for a snug fit, we feel like your marketing of this very useful product denies our humanity simply because we prefer to strap it onto our thickly muscled ankles.

What? You thought what? Grow up, dude.
