LA Times commentary: "Viagra? What About Workaholics?" latimes.com "Rallying under the banner of W.A.V.E--Workaholics Against Viagra's Effects--the group is seeking to have Viagra banned as un-American or, failing that, to force immediate development and availability to an anti-Viagra, virility-reducing counter-drug." "Viagra's going to have wives demanding to draw busy, driven men into the nightmare world of intimacy. I've already heard of a guy whose wife slipped Viagra into his Mylanta; he missed five important business calls and the CNN business highlights as a result!"

Mark, So much for the coattail effect for this week. Can't wait till next Monday when the numbers do a flip flop. These numbers can't get much worse, can they? Vivus best hold off on that ground breaking ceremony in Ireland until they get a handle on what their remaining market share might be. I hope they have a plan B, just in case, plan A goes down the shi**er. The really good news is that Viagara is validating the true extent of the ED market. Whether muse will be a significant player remains to be seen. RT
