wrong color.
(check Floyd's foundation site).
Perhaps The Onion didn't want to show the green and white one as
readers might have confused it as pro-The Onion.

WTF? It's not even remotely funny. Dumb punch line. Believe me I'm not
saying it's in poor taste. Challenge: RBM readers can up with
something funnier to imprinted on the "Lance like" yellow wrist band.
Such as:

Don't Get Caught!

or

Better Competition Through Chemistry

or

It's The 'Nads, Stupid.

Poor strategy, Mr. Brickston. When you challenge The Onion's sense of
humor, and offer your own "better" examples, you set a pretty high standard
for yourself. IMHO, you fail to meet it.

A review will show that's because I'm the only one who offered an
opinion as to the humor content of The Onion's post. IOW, it was so
lamely unfunny, no one even offered a "LOL."
