Back to the headlines department! Whee!

Some Viagra users report blindness-Pfizer

Thirty-eight out of twenty-three million, so it's not like it's a statistically significant number or anything, but still... countdown to Jay Leno proclaiming "if you don't stop doing that you'll go BLIND!", anyone?

And no. No reports of hairy palms, either.

I'm reminded of an early Viagra news item about a guy who was suing Pfizer for the effects the drug had on him. He was a used-car salesman who popped a pill or two before going on a date; on the way home, he experienced some kind of blue halo effect in his vision, and crashed his car.

It should be noted that he did not have any particular problem with E.D., and how he came by the pills was rather vague. Also noteworthy is that he never did get laid on the date.

(I so wish I had a citation for that news item. It was pretty funny; whoever wrote it had reasonably good comic timing too.)
