You gotta hand it to these entrepreneurs. They saw a market for fake penises that heat up and squirt out urine so that people can fake drug tests — and by golly, they gave the people what they wanted! Their Whizzinator, in addition to having an awesome name, made them a lot of money between 2005 and 2008, and now they're going to pay for it with jail time. (They are guilty of conspiracy charges.) On a side note, the BBC's online news tagline should be called "all the penis news that's fit to print." Who knew there were so many penis-related stories like this one, this one, and YIKES, this one?

Wow what a great idea too bad they have to go to jail...
1I don't understand... why are they going to jail?
2I looked this up, butifulparty: They're pleading guilty to conspiracy charges. Basically, it's a separate Federal crime to conspire or agree with someone to do something which would amount to another Federal crime. So these guys aided and abetted folks in doing illegal things through this Whizzinator device, whose sole purpose was to create false drug test results.
The Whizzinator is still a great name, though. You can't take that away.
3Thanks for trying to clear that up but I'm still confused. I've never heard of any of those companies that have sold urine cleanser products for all of these years getting into any kind of trouble. I had no idea that it was illegal. Maybe their product just did the job too well?
4BAHAHAHAHA my brother has one of these.
And yes, intentionally diluting or faking urine (tampering with specimen, if you will) for a job- or state-required drug test is indeed very much illegal. So it only makes sense that conspiring to do so is illegal as well.

6the above penis story is particularly funny, because Zizzi is what kids call a penis in France...
