Trazodone is a cheap generic, too, unlike the name-brand hypnotics.
That said, I think the original joke was on the prevalence of online-sale-of-Viagra spams.
Be careful with trazadone. I took it once on a long flight and didn't fall asleep but was under its influence. I had to go to the lav, and on the way back, pretty much collapsed face first into my seat (fortunately it was an old cushy UA 747 F seat. I never really did sleep on that flight, but felt miserable.
