 Title text: Reportedly, double-walled inflatable balls like this exist somewhere. Now to find that place. |

Why does this explanation assume the Genie/Djinn is Jeannie from "I Dream Of Jeannie"? I see nothing to support that claim. 192.208.44.88 19:53, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- This comic explain is still incomplete because of this inconsistencies. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
To me this is just a common Genie (as I've seen it in most US kids' stuff). Occasionally you see Djinn, Jinn, or Djinni. I think that's all there is to it. --Quicksilver (talk) 06:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
I edited the article to try to reflect the view that the Jeannie reference is unintended. Personally, I see no such reference, and suggest deleting the section. --Commarchinin (talk) 13:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi
in the third paragraph here, the wikipedia link to "Zorbing" shows the double walled inflatable balls being significantly different to the human sized hamster balls appearing in these comics. particularly, Wayne Coyne appears to use a single walled ball for crowdsurfing, both in the 211: Hamster Ball Heist and the events [~ Wayne Coyne crowdsurfs in giant ball]. so, unfortunately, i'm not seeing any evidence to support the title text being realised and feel the paragraph should be revised. ocæon (talk) 20:34, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
