Pfizer at no point declare any comercial interest in what appears to be a public service advert. <br>The chemicals used in rat poison are actually also found in some licenced medication. The advert in this sense gave a completely distorted perspective.

Hi Simon,

I guess they're worried about the numerous fake/spam emails that prompt consumers to buy cheap viagra etc from xxx website (I have loads of these emails in my spam folder: http://twitpic.com/olrdc)

They're being pro-active by attempting to educate people not to buy medicine online, and by doing so protecting themselves against court-cases from idiots who buy counterfeit medicine.

I'm guessing the amount of fake and dangerous medicine sold in the UK is minimal or even non-existent. My guess is that Pfizer makes a LOT of money through prescription medicine and they want to scare people into continuing to get their medicine in this most profitable way?

If this was a real problem, it would be the government or the NHS that were paying for the advert ?
