[edit] Redirect and rewrite?

Suggest page be moved to Michael Kenyon with a redirect from Illinois Enema Bandit. And it certainly needs a bit of rewriting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.128.123.176 (talk • contribs)

[edit] What the Deuce???

Is this supposed to be a legitimate encyclopedic article, or a joke? Is it meant to slander Michael Kenyon in bad faith, or what? This is NOT written in a serious tone, and is hardly believable. I doubt this is of ANY merit, and i don't even think this happened. RaccoonFox • Talk • Stalk 17:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

This is supposed to be a legitimate encyclopedic article. It is not meant to slander Michael Kenyon, who is a different person with the same first and last names. It seems to me to be written in as serious a tone as any article; it is the content which makes it seem derisive, yet as pointed out, the content is all completely true. The Zappa song was recorded in 1978, that much is easily verified.--Parsleyjones 18:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not slander

This is absolutely true. The Zappa tune isn't that offensive, it is satirical. I dig it! --b3x 01:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

The enema bandit story is a true one, aduly film director Shaun_Costello adapted it in the film "Waterpower."
The Michael Kenyon reference noted above is for a British novelist, not the convict noted for the enema attacks.

[edit] Removed

I removed the following two items:

The rumor was that she had to drop out of the University, and received psychological counseling to recover from this insult. (About the girl who he called ugly. If this is just a rumor then it isn't verified per our MOS. Also, let the poor girl alone).

Kenyon attended the University of Illinois from 1965 though 1969. He majored in accounting, and was a cross-country runner. (This article is about the crimes. I don't know where to put this. If the article title was by name rather than nickname I'd put it in the intro as background).

[edit] Dates

This has dates of March and Aprill 1966. Can we get more accurate? RJFJR 19:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete?

I have no idea whether the content of this article is legit, but it does not appear a worthy candidate for speedy deletion. It lacks online sources ( that I could verify right now), but the content appears plausible. I think a regular afd is more appropriate.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 03:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Lacking online sources is not the same as lacking sources. I don't see any criteria met for deletion.--Parsleyjones 18:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs confirmation

There's no way a mortal man could do something this utterly humiliating. "Get in the closet, you're too ugly to receive my enema."--71.177.243.209 01:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Amazing, but true!! I've added a newspaper report reference from 1975. You can verify it by using Google news archive search. --Ragib 02:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Per comments, I moved this and add more sources. Jokestress 03:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scurrilous Nonsense

I suppose nobody checked the sources to see if "John Bambenek" is really the same person with a changed name. A simple google search confirmed for me that it's certainly not true. I don't know who he is but he must have some childish enemies out there.
