"Pharma' in a a cycling team's title... unfortunate

They have been sponsoring the team for a few years now but they have just been using it to sponsor different products
i.e. Silence and Predictor. Though I wouldn’t be suprised if they change it yet again soon…but Pharma isn’t the best name in cycling, you are right.

Lotto seem to set themselves up for jokes

It would be safer, and easier to say, if they just left out the word pharma and called themselves Omega Lotto
…but I guess the sponsors wouldn’t be keen on that.

Not necessarily safer
Omega Lotto, but there may be room for *Lotto jokes on that issue.
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.

But less so than
Amgen’s cycling sponsorship.

Quite. At least Omega Pharma don't make EPO...

I predict XL-S Lotto
XL-S
The natural and effective way of slimming.
The XLS range includes products that reduce hunger, and are active in removing moisture, as well as in burning and absorbing fat.
The other key products after predictor and silence are xl-s and wartner (wart remover) and
paranix (headlice treatment).

Haha, the 'other key products' are a little unfortunate, no?
