Not Viva-ing Viagra

When Viagra was introduced I wrote a parody song about it called "Viva Viagra" to the tune of Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas". In the song, the Elvis character was all excited about the possibility, while the wife was a lot less excited about it.

Turns out, that's pretty much the way it has gone down. Take these comments from famous designer Diane von Furstenberg in E! Magazine...

Diane Von Furstenberg says Viagra is "worst thing that has happened to women in the last 15 years."

The iconic designer made the statement during a recent interview with The Times UK. Von Furstenberg argued that men could father children long after a woman's fertility declines. So, she said men's struggle with "getting it up" created a "certain fairness."

"For men, it used to be all about getting it up. ‘Did I?' ‘Can I?' There was a certain fairness,'" she continued in the interview published Wednesday. "A woman couldn't have a child after 40, right? Though even that doesn't exist any more. But the man could have a child until 65, but sexually after a while…Now, with Viagra…they just feel…I think Viagra is the worst thing."
