June 11, 2006.. It is probably worth keeping separating entries for Onterrio Smith and Whizzinators with links.


I decided to put a note on the talk page for this article because the article could somehow be mistaken for spam or a joke (and probably would be if an NFL player had not been caught with "the original whizzinator" in an airport.) This makes the device newsworthy- indeed it has been talked about on FOX news, ESPN, newspapers, etc.

I'm still new to wikipedia, but I realize this may be a prime candidate for deletion, but keep the above in mind.

  • You're right, this'll probably end up on VfD at some point. To preserve its content, why not merge it into Onterrio Smith? The Whizzinator is only notable because it hit the news along with that dumbass fine athlete. AиDя01DTALK 05:19, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
    • But then again, it has been on enough news shows that it is possible that the whizzinator could become one of those products which is the butt of jokes (ie like the "clapper" or "salad shooter" Jcam 05:24, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
      • When that happens, then spin it off into its own article. IMO, it'll be forgotten in a few weeks once everyone forgets about Onterrio and starts focusing on the battle for the starting RB position. AиDя01DTALK 05:27, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

Tom Sizemore was caught using one, too. It should stay. --David Bix 01:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • I agree that the article should stay separate from Onterrio Smith, now that Tom Sizemore has been caught with it as well. SweetP112 14:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

You have to be an absolute moron to buy one of these, to use it and to get caught. Isn't it cheaper to stay clean and sober?

Reads like a commercial to me, with prices and all, and no caveat. Arakrys 15:09, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Possible inspiration for the Whizzinator"

Is there any evidence that this was an inspiration? Perhaps "fictional precursors" would be a less loaded title, if we want to begin a list of fictional urine-dispensing devices through history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.172.19.20 (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
