Viagra Maker Sick Of All The Spam
from the sue-everyone! dept
Pfizer, the folks who brought you Viagra, are apparently sick of all the V1*4gRa ads in their email inboxes as well, and have decided it's time for them to do something about it. They're trying to shut down bogus websites and spammers claiming to sell Viagra, and get to the point where someone at Pfizer, with a legitimate reason, will be able to send out an email again that mentions Viagra without having it shot automatically into a spam blackhole.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Brings to mind a phrase....
Oh, yes, now I rememeber...
"IT'S ABOUT FRIGGIN' TIME"...
Sorry, Pfizer, but if you really cared about protecting the good name of yourself and your products, you should have done something a long time ago (in internet years).
