Vioxx Replaces Porn as Spam King 200
An anonymous reader noted that CNN is running a story crowning vioxx the new king of spam, upsetting poor old fashioned pornography. Of course, for me all my spam seems to be about rolexes.

There are also some people who only get pain relief with Vioxx; ``equivalent'' drugs don't seem to work.

Vioxx is a useless drug in most cases just like all other NSAID's.

Today two out of the three I received (new e-mail address they obviously haven't found yet) were telling me to increase how well I can please a woman with exercises and drugs to increase my penis size. It is rather disturbing. One thing I want to know... do men actually think that increasing your penis size will make women ecstatic?

Yes, in many cases, pain relievers are not necessary, the pain can be relieved through other means. However, this does not make the drug "useless", nor does it actually have any bearing on whether it works or not. Remember that in trials, these drugs are most often compared against placebos, and had better results. So the truth is, they do work.
And speaking as someone who lives with a person who is in pain 24/7 from degenerative arthritis, I'm glad they're out there. The problems with Vioxx are very unfortunate. It filled a need for a non-narcotic painkiller that was not so harsh on the GI tract. Hopefully, someone will figure out how to develop a version without the cardiac effects.
