Viagra? LOL You mean, the commercials? LOL I haven't actually ever seen a Viagra commerciall, I don't think! I see Cialis and what is that other one, Enzyte! LOL There is another, I can't think of it. I think the Enzyte commercials are funny. "Paul is experiencing a RISE in his popularity!" Hahahahh! Such subliminal messages, hahaha!
While we are on the topic of Viagra...........if anyone is interested in how the pharmaceutical comapanies' tactics in pushing their drugs, you should read this really good, easy, fun and FUNNY book called "Hard Sell." It was written by Viagra's #1 salesman at one time---and he tells ALL of the secrets and tactics Pfizer used to push not only their antibiotic, but also the hilarious birth of Viagra and how it affected not only the doctors, but the patients, even the ladies in the office! Viagra was initially created as a medicine to treat ANGINA---it was for men & women! But when they realized the side effects, they touted it for the men. The author said one day he walked into a doctor's office to take care of his business, and the waiting room was FULL of seniors, mostly men! And their sheepish, blushing wives, hahaha. The book is great! But you wouldn't BELIEVE how Pfizer and other companies are sooooo sneaky! Almost unethical. It's all about making the money for those companies, certainly not for treating people. Of course, they want their meds to be effective AND treat people, yes, but the end result, what they are after, is the $$$. The book really opened my eyes. Let me tell you this---- I WILL NEVER be hesitating when asking my doctor for samples of anything from now on! They have supply closets FULL of all kinds of medicines, from Viagra to boring stuff. All you have to do is ask for it.
Also, one of the ladies who worked in one doctor's office finally had enough and decided to try Viagra for herself. She came into work the next day, completely RED in the face. Not from embarassment. Although none of the girls could stop laughing....hahah...but the lady was red because it was a side effect for women! It was a huge rushing of blood to her head and face, causing her to be red! She was okay, but didn't try it again. Everybody had a good laugh.
Another doctor practically cornered up the author and begged him for a case of Viagra, instead of the usual samples he usually left in this doctor's supply closet. The doctor claimed he NEEDED it, BADDDDDDD. Not for him, but for his WIFE! Apparently, she decided to try one too, and this doctor was practically going nuts with lust, saying it had changed his wife, FOR THE BETTER! ROTFLMAO!!! So hey, you never know!
ALSO.........one more thing about Viagra that I thought was really sneaky: They purposefully re-invented the shape of it into a diamond, so that people could not easily break it, or cut it in half. Pfizer was losing money! So they made it difficult to cut it in half. Can you believe that?
Check out "Hard Sell" for a very interesting read. I got my hardback and used copy through Amazon.com marketseller, for under $1, (forget exactly how much it was) and the S&H rate for marketplace sellers is $3.99. I always buy used books through Amazon marketsellers. That was a great price for a hardback edition too! I've passed it on to mom, and then sent it to a friend in CA. It's been popular to her friends that she passed it on to!
