Free Viagra for Old Men

Tuesday April 29, 2008
Viagra

Grumpy old men of Chile, rejoice!

A town just south of Santiago is giving out free Viagra to men 60 and older four times a month to improve their "quality of life."

"It's done responsibly. It's not just like handing out candy at the corner," Gonzalo Navarrete, a physician and mayor of the poor town of Lo Prado, told Las Ultimas Noticias, according to Reuters.

Mayor Navorrete says he was spurred to act after hearing older men in his town complain about not getting enough sex.

It goes without saying, Viagra is no cure for loneliness.

Really glad the grumpy old men could get their free Viagra without some nosey pharmacist demanding to know if he was using it for procreation. Maybe one day women will be so fortunate with their birth control prescriptions. After all, birth control pills aren’t just for birth control, sometimes they improve a woman’s quality of life too by suppressing EXCRUTIATING menstrual cycles. Unfortunately, women’s health care is a non issue to the fundies as long as they get their Viagra, life is good. PIGS!
