In a first for the drug industry, Pfizer Inc. told The Associated Press that the drugmaker will begin selling its popular erectile dysfunction pill Viagra to patients on its website.

$25 is pretty steep for a pill that was supposed to off patent last year in March. America is the only country recognizing this blatant rip-off. Mexico, Canada and India told them to stuff it.

It’s a first because Pfizer is selling directly to the public, and not coincidentally allowing men to keep a certain prescription off their local medical records.
