AdFreak has been reading the Food and Drug Administration’s letter to Pfizer asking the company to pull two of its Viagra TV spots, and boy, it’s a doozy.

Uh, say what? Did we really think it was a treatment for a pair of pesky blue horns sprouting on the sides of our head? The FDA is also annoyed that the commercials leave out some of Viagra’s “major side effects and contraindications.”
