AIDS group alleges Viagra ads promote drug's recreational use

these aids people don't quite seem to get it. the people who are going to 'abuse' viagra as part of partying are already outside of their message. these are people who either don't care if they get poz'd, are active bug chasers, or looking to convert neg guys. they aren't going to be listening to anything you have to say and they're going to take whatever substances they want.

the drug companies commercials are fine, as much as any drug commercial is fine. i think they are offensive, vague, misleading, and inappropriate as a group, but that's just me.

as far as suing the drug company to help care for aids patients, that's a connection that simply isn't true. it isn't their fault that some very small number of people use the drug to assist themselves in getting or spreading a deadly infection. should the makers of horse tranquilizers (K) have to pay for drug treatment programs? of course not. it's peoples choice to misuse any drug, the consequences of their actions are solely on their own heads.
