AARP Endorses Cialis for Erectile Dysfunction

Boston - AARP Second Vice President Joyce Smegma today announced that AARP has given its endorsement to Cialis® for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Ms. Smegma noted that many senior citizens never know when the time is going to be right, and Cialis® will help men "with a reluctant Johnson." Of course, AARP will receive an endorsement fee of an undisclosed amount from Lilly, as it does from The Hartford Insurance Company and United Healthcare for its endorsement of their products.

"While AARP endorses Cialis®, the endorsement should not be viewed as a guaranty that its use will make you feel like those happy older couples you see in the TV ads," Ms. Smegma stressed, "especially if our member's member is afflicted with Peyronie's disease."

Noting that many right-wing Republican AARP members will choose to stick with Viagra® because of their loyalty to former Senator Bob Dole (R-Kansas), Ms. Smegma felt that its endorsement of Cialis® was a good fit with its endorsement of the United Healthcare Medicare plans.

While some have criticized AARP's endorsement programs, Ms. Smegma said that the AARP Board felt that there is no conflict of interest in endorsing commercial products.

"AARP endorses only products and services of the highest caliber that are willing to pay handsomely for our endorsement. We aren't whoring ourselves generally", noting that the board of directors recently refused to endorse K-Y Jelly® as its intimate lubricant, and by an 8 to 7 vote turned down a big endorsement fee to name BP Petroleum as its favored offshore drilling provider.
