I'm not sure if Pfizer's management has been sleeping in the rain forest observing the idle primates, or its marketing department perceives the declining state of the economy and the unemployment rate as a means to increase market share.

On Thursday, the company announced that it will give away Lipitor and Viagra for up to one year, to people who have lost jobs and health insurance.

"There's a long-term benefit there, beyond the goodwill and the publicity," said David Heupel, a Pfizer spokesperson. He alluded to the strategy as preventing poor people from substituting herbal remedies and cheap videos for its name brand product.

I asked around, but no one would say whether or not condoms were being dispensed with pink slips these days; However, Pfizer is doing its civic duty.

Tally-ho! then, ey?
