The Viagra Walk of Fame
1.Hugh Heffner (Born 1926): also referred to colloquially as "Hef," is the founder and editor-in-chief of Playboy magazine. Whether you think him a dirty old man or a god among mortals, one thing's for sure-few people can boast having a harem of busty blonde bombshells at 80 years old. He is known to give bowls of Viagra tablets at his renowned parties.
2. Bob Dole (Born 1923): Republican candidate in the 1996 U.S. Presidential election. He was also United States Senate Majority Leader and Senator from
Kansas from 1969-1996 and the Republican vice presidential nominee in the 1976
Presidential election.. In 1999, Bob Dole, who helped test the anti-impotence
pill Viagra, appeared in an advertisement sponsored by the makers of the drug
and urged people to get help for the problem, bringing a few seconds of talk
about ED (erectile dysfunction) into Americans' homes for the first time in
history.
3. Pele (Born 1940): Brazilian soccer legend, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known globally as "Pele," is regarded by many as the greatest footballer
of all time. In 2002, Pele headed a worldwide ad campaign launched by the Pfizer
pharmaceutical company, taping a series of television ads plugging the benefits
of Viagra. "There are loads of men with erectile problems who don't see
a doctor out of embarrassment," Pele said through a spokesman. "I
hope this campaign helps a lot of them." Whether or not the legend needs
help with his game remains a mystery.
4.Lance Armstrong (Born 1971): Retired American professional road racing cyclist. He won the Tour de France a record
seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005. The bicycle industry has Lance Armstrong
as its poster child on erectile dysfunction. Several years ago he discovered he
had testicular cancer that because of subsequent chemo or X-ray treatment he might be
rendered sterile. The doctor told him to go to the sperm bank and make a donation.
You have one chance and one chance only to ever have children, and if he had
to think about saddle induced erectile dysfunction I don't know what would have
happened. Fortunately, aggressive chemo killed the cancer that had spread through
his body, he won the Tour de France and his stored sperm have made him a father.
5. Samantha Jones (Born 1958): Fictional character in the HBO-produced television series Sex and the City. She is played by Kim Cattrall. Samantha is sexually liberated, and most of her storylines revolve around the many men and sex she has. She has two separate incidences involving the anti-impotence drug, Viagra. In episode titled 'The man, the myth, the Viagra', Samantha has an atypical lover, even for a man-eater like her: Donald Trump's single friend Ed is past 70, and uses old-fashioned wooing, lavish gifts and Viagra to outweigh his physical decay and seduce Samantha. In an episode entitled 'Drama Queens' Samantha sleeps with a doctor named Mark, who doesn't "need" Viagra, but takes it to spice things up in bed. Intoxicated by the idea of an even more thrilling sexual experience, Samantha pops a pill or two. After a few trysts, Mark suggests they try it without the aid of medical enhancers, but Samantha refuses. Nervous she may get cut off, Samantha asks Mark to write her a prescription for her own supply. Samantha's dalliances with drug, led to much hype in the media about whether or not Viagra would work for women.
6. Richard and Judy (Born 1956 and 1948): Married co-stars of British daytime television programmes. They shocked audiences recently
by revealing how they tried to spice up their sex life - by experimenting with
Viagra. The husband-and-wife presenting team admitted to experimenting with
the little blue pills during an interview to publicise the return of their Channel
4 teatime show. The pair, soon to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary, made their latest admission eight years after the event. According to Richard, the
effects meant he was unable to leave the house for hours. He said: "We
had one each. It makes everything last much longer and return, y'know, swiftly
and hang around all day." But he insisted he and Judy used the pills for
fun and not out of necessity. And Richard, 50, was quick to claim he wasn't a flop in
bed. He told The Times magazine: "Listen, I want to make it quite clear
that I don't need Viagra. It was an experiment." Judy chimed in: "I
can vouch for that!"
7. Sir Sterling Moss OBE (Born 1929): British former racing driver. His success in a variety of categories placed him among the world's elite - he is often
called "the greatest driver never to win the World Championship".
In 2006, Moss became a spokesman for SortED in 10, the education campaign sponsored
by drug's manufacturers Bayer, (makers of Levitra), publicly admitting to his
own difficulties, Moss stated "Men worry that admitting they have the problem
will reflect on their masculinity, but it has nothing to do with masculinity."
He admitted that seeing his GP to discuss his erection difficulties was a tough
call.
8. Ashton Kutcher (Born 1978): American actor, television producer, and former fashion model. He came to fame in the late 1990s, as a result of a starring role as Michael Kelso in the television series That '70s Show. He has since become a lead actor in Hollywood films. Kutcher has also branched out as a television producer and creator, most notably for the series Punk'd. In 2005, Kutcher faced the press to deny rumors that's he's hooked on Viagra, but admits he has tried the drug. "I tried it, but I'm not addicted," he told GLAMOUR magazine. "I don't have a hard-on now! I haven't taken it in years. I took it a few times recreationally. It's illegal [without prescription], but I've taken it." And Ashton says it's not without benefits. "When I was a bit more sexually recreational? When you're involved with multiple people? It helps," he added. Presumably, the 28 year old was talking about the years prior to his marriage to Hollywood royal, Demi Moore in 2005.
9. Jerry Hall (Born 1956): English American supermodel and actress known for being Mick Jagger's long-time companion. Hall was recently appointed as the "Global Ambassador for [Levitra's] Erectile Dysfunction Campaign." Bayer HealthCare, is hoping that the global icon will inject much needed sex appeal to their marketing strategy. Hall has declared: "I'm working with Bayer HealthCare to encourage men to confront erectile dysfunction
and take action. It might be a conversation with your doctor or maybe with your
partner, but it's never too late to get the most from your love life. A healthy
love life is not and should not be the preserve of those in their 20s and 30s.
It's important at all ages". Hall is the perfect face for Levitra as she is
a global sex symbol who embodies an open, confident and bold approach to sex
and relationships. According to the Texan -"My mother said it was simple
to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen
and a whore in the bedroom. I said I'd hire the other two and take care of the
bedroom bit."
10. Christian Slater (Born 1969): American actor, star of movies such as Bobby and True Romance. Slater made headlines in 2005 when he allegedly
tried to buy erectile dysfunction medication at the urinal of a New York eatery. An unnamed man accused the star of asking him for Cialis because he'd met an attractive girl at his brother's barbecue and wanted to impress her with his sexual stamina. The accuser says, "I was at the urinal. Christian Slater is next to me and starts talking. "He says he's met this girl at the bar, he was hitting on her and he thought he could take her home. Then he asks me if I have any Cialis."When the tipster said he wasn't carrying any erectile dysfunction cure, Slater added, "It's the good stuff!" But Slater laughed off the claims, insisting he was joking when he made the request.
