So it’s a Friday night and you’re looking for a good time. Me? I tend have a few drinks with friends. But maybe you need some Viagra to get you through the shame of having to deal with a hooker (not that there’s anything wrong with that in Las Vegas).
The National Police Agency in Japan has announced that even more yakuza have been arrested in an Osaka drug ring for selling fake Viagra to thrill seekers like yourself. Two Yamaguchi-gumi members were arrested again on charges of unauthorized pharmaceutical sales, with a third member also getting thrown in the clink.
The police found 13,000 fake Viagra tablets in a Naniwa condo, which they believe is one of the bases for the drug ring. Officials suspect that the drug profits are being redirected back to the organization itself. The three yakuza who were arrested are suspected of selling 120 pills without a license to three men for about 39,000 yen between April 27 and May 5.
So what’s wrong with the fake Viagra? No, the problem is that it’s equivalent to about two regular Viagra. You might think that having a raging hard-on that could take down small cities with one fell swoop wouldn’t be that bad, except for when you watch an episode of House or E.R. and realize how exactly to rid yourself of a little condition called priapism. That, and the fake pills can cause heart attacks and death. Yeep.
I guess it’s lucky for the customers of the yakuza that they made it out unscathed. Although one of them even had the audacity to complain, “It was relatively cheap and it worked. What’s the crime in that?” Double yeep.
