News from Shanghai's Xinhua news agency that the general manager of a Shanghai chemical company was jailed for two years on Thursday for selling fake tablets of the male impotence drug Viagra on the Internet. I think I may have received some of his e-mail.
Yu Bohuai made a profit of over 60,000 yuan ($8,585) in 2006 and 2007 by selling 14,030 fake tablets to clients abroad and in Shanghai. He was arrested last July.
Viagra is marketed by Pfizer, the world's largest drug maker. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it to treat impotence in 1998.
There's a Pfizer plant in Terre Haute. They've had some huge layoffs, recently. There's even a rumor that the plant may close down completely. You see, we don't need any damn Viagra around here!
