Blind, clumsy and stupid? Don't blame Viagra...

It's been in the news recently that a few dozen men who use Viagra have suffered blindness. Pfizer, the company that makes the product, disputed the accusations:

"After more than 10 years of rigorous clinical study and worldwide safety monitoring of a medicine used by more than 27 million men, there is no evidence to suggest a link between Viagra and blindness or other serious ocular events," said Joseph Feczko, Pfizer's chief medical officer. "In addition, several studies specifically looking into the effect of Viagra in the eye by Pfizer as well as independent ophthalmologic experts found Viagra to have no serious adverse effects on the eye."

Pfizer also went on to emphasize that the drug does not cause any of the following symptoms or problems:

1. Hairy or itchy hands.
2. Transformation into murderous werewolf.
3. Cheating on one's wife.
4. Loss of one year from preset lifespan through every ejaculation.
5. Inability to score Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, or high school sweeheart.
6. Continued ugliness.
