In an amazing, sizzling interview, Dr. Jarvik spoke to Playboy a few years back about his sex life, a dildo he manufactured for a girl friend, and much more.
Oh boy. Here's a SFW exerpt:
"Before going to bed that night, he worried about how he would transport the proto-dildo without breaking it. I offered him Styrofoam peanuts, but he shook his head, deep in creative thought. He went upstairs, muttering to himself. A few minutes later, he came rushing back down, carrying one of his white Reeboks gym shoes.
"Look!" he said excitedly. "It fits!" He tipped the shoe so that we could see. The dildo was nestled neatly inside."
Pfizer probably did not check this interview before paying Dr. Jarvik $1.3 million to be the company's spokesperson in their biggest DTC campaign, ever.
Pfizer, after pulling the Lipitor advertising with Dr. Jarvik (who is the inventor of the Jarvik artificial heart), this week stated that the “way in which we presented Dr. Jarvik in these ads has, unfortunately, led to misimpressions and distractions.”

Hey if a multi national company like Pfizer can not control its spokespersons or employees the it says a lot about them. That is why these companies pay lawyers millions of dollars!!! They come with iron clad contracts to protect them from people associated with their compnay ruining its image. As for Dr. Jarvik...good for you and keep flying your freak flag proud.

I wonder how Pfizer hadn't come across that article! If nothing else, it's great to see the other side of typically-aloof doctors!

Dr. Jarvik is the lucky man for getting $1.3 million.But the news is quite bad.It's quite depressive to read this.

Sometimes confidence can be a double-edged sword, several years ago by a small family problem I lost my brother, this experience was the most horrible I've experienced. I wanted to share my experience with all readers, congratulations on the blog, it's nice. Another excellent topic to discuss is sex

I was looking out the window. I was waiting for the plane to take off. I was wearing Monster Cable's Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones . I was listening to Pens' burning, fuzzed-out, 27-minute onslaught, Hey Friend, What You Doing? I was shouting with sudden shock and pain.
