Mysterious Outbreak of MacStiffy

And I'm guessing cigarette sales were up too...
Smokers in Glasgow who sought medical help while trying to kick the habit were accidentally prescribed Viagra instead of an anti-smoking drug. The blunder was caused by a technical problem with a computer system that automatically selects a list of drugs when GPs fill out a prescription.

One Glasgow doctor said yesterday: "Thankfully the side effects of taking Viagra in error are not too serious."
