The two whizzes who created a device to beat drugs tests just learned a valuable lesson: You don't pee on the United States government out of a fake penis and tell 'em it's raining.

Robert Catalano and George Wills have just plead guilty in U.S. District Court for conspiring to sell the Whizzinator -- a prosthetic penis sold with a heating device and dried urine which, quite obviously, helps people fake their way through drug tests

Free enterprise at its' best, done in by the gov't!

Onterrio Smith is still in hiding.

Do why don’t they just use a blood test? They to see men pee?

[MyTwoCopperCoins]

I guess they can go after prosthetic eye makers next, for fake iris patterns.

So, help me out here... I'm sure it's illegal to use one of these devices to beat a drug test, but why is it illegal to sell one? I can think of other uses for something like this (none particularly socially acceptable, but legal).

Obama will pardon them on January 20th, 2013 after he’s made pot and blow and X and crank and glue legal.

The streamline engineers face up to eight years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

Gee whiz....

I’m going to sue Hollywood for using fake boobs in movies.

Meanwhile President Bush just pardoned a rapper who was in jail for transporting 31 pounds of liquid cocaine in 2 briefcases (apparently he is so talented that Orin Hatch at Carley Simon appealed for him).

How exactly is this illegal? People have sold "masking agents" for years.

"...for conspiring to sell the Whizzinator..."

Clever marketers would have sold it under the name "Penis Envoy."

Maybe he thought it was Whizzinator samples....

[earlJam]

Guilty of what?

Sounds as harmless as selling a radar detector.

As the lady at the end of the bar was known to say..."I'll keep an eye out for Ya!"

Great, now I have coffee on my keyboard...

I thought this was going to be about the space station.

Best. opening. line. ever.

[EggsAckley]

I second that.

[tob2]

Just when you think you have heard of everything .....

[muir_redwoods]

If they had presented it as a sex toy for the guys in San Francisco, they could qualify for a government loan instead of facing arrest.

[SunkenCiv]

Should have thrown themselves on the mercy of the court, perhaps going so far as to prostate themselves...

[orlop9]

I’m going out on a limb and guessing the typo was intentional :)

[JRios1968]

Well, ain’t that a pisser.

I agree. What the hell is illegal about this?

Wasn't it a commutation, not a pardon? A commutation reduces the sentence, in this case to 7 years or so from whatever the original sentence was, if I remember the article in the New York Post correctly. He still is a convicted felon, etc. Still not a good idea, but not nearly as bad as a pardon.

Didn’t screwed up actor Tom Sizemore get busted trying to use one of these things once?

With the movies coming out lately, I think all the boobs are real.
