Little blue fakes

Given the fact that these were counterfeit, I wonder if they would have...um...had an effect, if you know what I mean.

French customs officials have intercepted a shipment of 224,000 fake Viagra and Cialis anti-impotence pills worth 2.4 million euros ($3.5 million), the Budget Ministry said Monday.

The copies of the bestselling drugs were found on December 18 during a search at the French capital's main air hub at Roissy, in a freight cargo on its way to Brazil from India.

"Branded Powergra and Erectalis, each box contained, in fact, four tablets in the characteristic shape and color of Viagra or Cialis pills," Budget Minister Eric Woerth's office, which is also in charge of customs, said in a statement.

Now, like I said, I have no idea whether or not these pills actually would have worked, so I guess there are either a lot of disappointed or relieved Brazilian men, depending.
