FREE VIAGRA TO BRAZILIAN SENIORS

November 20, 2006 12:11 PM

The mayor of a small Brazilian town is handing out free Viagra, spicing up the sex lives of dozens of elderly men and their partners according to a Reuters report.

"Since we started the free distribution of sexual stimulants, our elderly population changed. They're much happier," said Joao de Souza Luz, the mayor of Novo Santo Antonio, a small town in the central state of Mato Grosso.

The program, which was approved by the town's legislature and has been dubbed "Happy Penis," or "Pinto Alegre" in Portuguese.

But the program has also had the unforeseen consequence of encouraging some extra-marital affairs, Souza Luz said. "Some of the old men aren't seeking out their wives. They've got romances on the side," he said. To discourage such affairs, Souza Luz said the city had decided to begin distributing the Viagra pills to the wives of the men who signed up for the program . "That way, when the women are in the mood, they can give the pills to their husbands," he said.

Let's hear from you - good idea?
