20/20 Vision with Blu-blockers Anyone else catch the Viagra infomercial starring Hugh Downs? Interesting statistic proven by the broadcast--1/2 of ecstatically-satisfied Viagra users who appear on national TV wear stud earrings in their left ear lobes. Clear warning to nitroglycerine users to stay away from Viagra or face precipitous blood pressure drops. No mention of blue vision or color changes under the "Minor Side Effects" graphic or anywhere else on the broadcast. Guess Pfizer has solved that problem since yesterday. Most importantly, no mention of Vivus, Muse, or the suppository application method. Only alternative methods shown or mentioned were injection, pump, and implants. Very interesting omission, considering that 20/20 was simply uncritically broadcasting whatever they were provided by Pfizer. Why do you suppose Pfizer steered clear of any mention of Muse or even the suppository method?
