British scientists have determined that most of the brand-name ... ahem ... "performance" medication sold on the Internet -- you probably get liberal doses of it in your inbox -- isn't the real deal. More than half the time, you're not getting the famous little blue pill; you're getting the little bogus pill. Researchers who analyzed the stuff found that more than half of these mass mail meds don't come from the mother ship (Pfizer Inc.) and are instead watered-down versions of the genuine article. In other words, buying this stuff is akin to buying a Rolex off the street for $20. And you wouldn't want to swallow either of them.
