Viagra Falls

At the risk of being thought indelicate I'm going to tell you about this ... according to Reuters, a chemical company manager in Shanghai was this week sentenced to two years in prison for selling fake Viagra tablets. In recent months, thousands of would-be lotharios had been taken in by the dastardly scheming of this remorseless Internet mountebank.
I know he won't be off to Lowe's any time soon to buy identical clawfoot tubs for us!
One would think his customers, were they able to locate him, would exact a revenge far worse than that meted out by law enforcement.
And I wonder if he ever learned the "Viva Viagra" song? Or sang it with his buddies in a dusty old shed before peeling out on his motorcycle, bound for home and the lucky missus?
While we're ever-so-briefly on the subject, don't you love the Cialis commercials wherein the couple are sitting in the middle of a field, each occupying their own clawfoot bathtub? Sometimes they are holding a big black umbrella aloft over the space between their tubs ... only it's not raining. Is there water in the tubs? I'm dying to know. TG, pragmatist that he is, looks with great skepticism upon this ad. I know he won't be off to Lowe's any time soon to buy identical clawfoot tubs for us! One less thing to worry about!
But back to the Shanghai Shyster ... for me the burning question remains: now that they've caught him, is he locked up or locked down?
Sorry. Couldn't resist, mate.

Great. Now I've got that Viva Viagra song stuck in my head!
A fate worse than death ... sorry 'bout that luv!
You handled this indelicate matter with such finesse! I can't help but wonder if the counterfeit viagra worked for anyone?
Finesse ... me middle name! I wondered the same thing ... did the fink peddle placebos, or was it just an "off" brand of the real deal? A redheaded stepchild as it were? Disappointing either way, I imagine ...
I despise all those "uplifting" pill ads. And did you see awhile back the CHURCH that used the "Bob" ads as fodder for an ad of their own on the internet? They were hawking a conference or some such thing using obvious stolen verbage and props (missile in background from the "Bob" ads.) It was disgusting. Somehow I don't think God was amused. He's not beyond a yuck here and there but not about that nonsense. Oh, yeah...and not too far from here (and in far-reaching areas as well) there were billboards inviting people to come to a church where the sermon was going to be "The Best Sex Ever." The billboards had a very simple picture...two pair of feet...one pair facing up and one pair facing down between them...on white sheets. Somehow I think church shouldn't be pornographic...
HAHAHA, P.L.! Hope he doesn't have to wait over four hours!
I think them pills were pure sugah, sugah. What else?
And thanks for the reciprocity! Big love to you.
What do you think the fake pills were made of?
One of my male friends never resists telling this same joke to as many new people as possible (the retelling is currently at the three year mark). It goes like this. Him (rubbing back of neck): "I've got a stiff neck." Other person offers suggestions about how to improve it. Him: "Naw. I swallowed a Viagra and it got stuck in my throat."
