We are Viagra people

It's no secret that Egyptians love Viagra. They do to the degree that people use it as bribes to buy votes. It's not that the men of the country can't get it up, it's just that they like the whole "long-lasting erections on demand" thing. I for one think it's the worst thing that ever happend to us, because it deprived us of a whole generation of "Old wise men". You see, men go through life thinking with their penis, and when they hit a certain age where their "drill sargent" doesn't "stand at attention", they start using their other brain, you know, the one above their necks. That's why we used to have old wise men to counsel us; and now we have Viagra dads. Anyway... There is a big story in the egyptian media in regards to NDP's MP and ceramics magnate Mohamed Abou El Enein, whom they found in one of his shipments 1.3 million pills of Viagra. He, of course, denies involvment, and the government, ever so vigilant when it comes to Justice, arrested the cargo inspecter instead of Abou El Enein. Given that the street price for a Viagra pill is 150 EGP, it means that this shipment is worth 195 million EGP, or roughly $ 34 million dollars, in pure profit. The running joke is that Abou El Enein is the one who brought this shipment to Egypt as a surprise gift to Mubarak, to help him on his quest to really screw the people.

"The Arabian Nights (Arabic: alf laila walaila (“the thousand and one nights”) has often been banned by Arab governments, even as recently as 1989 when Egypt issued a ban."

listen, part of my job is checking papers and magazines on a daily basis (quite boring actually). el mohem, i've read the Abouelenein story in various forms in different publications where they totally incriminated him for this shipment. Then of course there was the obvious turn around, and the customs guy is the one who is taking the wrap for this whole shenanagan!! poor poooor guy :( on the other hand, it could have been the customs guy, since we all know for a fact how corrupt these guys are...he could have easily done it for his own personal gain somehow...oh well, adi 7al el donia! :)

Here's a thought...when women are treated like human beings with a right to have sexual feelings, they will be more than enough to spark this effect in the vast majority of their men without any need for viagra.
