Black-market “Obama Viagra” smuggled from Afghanistan into Pakistan

Barack Obama, a symbol of virility? In Afghanistan and Pakistan, of all places, with the pills apparently manufactured in China — three countries where he would most fittingly be a symbol for inadequacy and impotence? Well, this is pill-induced virility, after all, not the natural variety, so apparently the message is: If you’re suffering from a malady akin to Barack Obama’s flaccid foreign policy, take these pills, and like Pakistan and Afghanistan themselves, you’ll be ready to wage jihad in no time.

“Hard sell? Pakistani merchants use President Obama’s face to sell imitation Viagra,” by Adam Edelman for the New York Daily News, February 19 (thanks to Kenneth):

Washington gridlock isn’t the only dysfunction President Obama has become the face of.

Suppliers of black-market Viagra sold in Pakistan are using the President’s likeness to help sell imitations of the anti-impotence drug, allowing the man with the most difficult job in the world to, unwittingly, help others achieve a similar degree of hardness in their own lives.

Obama’s face can be found on the packages of a contraband version of the erectile dysfunction medication in cities across the volatile Islamic country, according to AFP.

Some versions of the medicine simply feature Obama’s likeness, while other boxes containing imitations of the drug display Obama’s head on a gun-toting spy resembling James Bond.

Another box features a man resembling Obama showing a thumbs-up sign.

The bizarre boxes have become increasingly common in Peshawar, the conservative city in northwestern Pakistan that lies just 200 miles from the Afghan border, AFP reported.

While the Obama White House has spent billions of dollars in foreign aid trying to erect democratic institutions in the violence-plagued country, Pakistani men seeking a little “democracy” of their own can purchase four of the imitation blue pills for just $1.

The pills, which are banned in the country, are reportedly smuggled in from neighboring Afghanistan.
