I'm not sure the reader is quite rugged enough for water polo.

Sexism aside, I thought it was clever, showy and unique. I think they could have toned it down and still succeeded with it (and probably succeeded even more so with female audiences) but now they will just have to come up with a really nice vid of some Navy Seals using them in the water while they wait for a mission to start.

Or at the very least a happy family surfing with their readers.
