I can't be the only naive one...why so many ads for Viagra
and the myriad other drugs? There can't be THAT many men that are impotent, can there?

1. If even half of the 59,000,000 Americans who voted for Bush are men...
...that's a lot of potential Viagra users! :evilgrin:

3. The market includes more than impotence
Some men use viagra to go to eleven, if you follow me.

4. It's not just impotency. It's used as "performance enhancement" as well.

5. Well it isn't necessarily for impotence
I guess when men get to a certain age things get kind of soft, so those drugs could be for enhancement as well as impotence.

12. And why do you call yourself "Droopy"? Is it your wisdom for the subject?

14. No, I wouldn't name myself after my pecker.
But I've read enough porn to know about these things.

13. Thank you!
I believe FrontLine ran a show on Mad. Ave and the pharm industry which revealed the marketing/advertising budget sometimes exceeds the product's research cost.

:crazy:

20. I can see that as a plot for a porn movie
where the guy walks in to the ER with his four-hour hard-on only to be treated by a sexy female nurse.
