I'm trying to put into perspective of wanting something really bad to do something so stupid in order to get it.
I remember a contest where I was trying to win a Volkswagon Van and I had to keep my hand on it for 72 hours - oh wait. That was Kelso.....

you can read on my blog what I've done to get one. the search continues fruitlessly.
I heard some of the audio from the contest. It was pretty creepy. Not to mention that she didnt even win the wii. So far the station has fired 10 people as of today and probably f=more to come.
` Didn't she know, if you drink water, you just make Wii!
` Okay, now that was horrible.
` BTW, I'M BACK FROM MEXICO!!! I didn't die! But I did get a concussion today, and ow!
They had to have a scapegoat since a mother of two died in the contest. They couldn't vilify her; it would be cruel to her family. I heard some audio of a listener call in who was a nurse warning them someone could die. The DJs laughed it off and said everyone signed a waver, so it was fine. They're all morons and I bet it got good ratings....

The women in question that died was in fact herself a nurse. She didn't die form choking on the water. She died from Water Intoxication. The reason everyone involved with the show and probably low level management were fired is whats called a "controlled burn". When the parent company goes to court to fight against all the civil suits that will be involved they can show that they had no knowledge of the contest and they have shown that they have taken care of the problem and thus try to limit the amount of damage that a jury may want to inflict on the corporation. Also by firing everyone involved this makes each person have to get counsel on there own and fight for themselves individually.
Wouldn't you think that people from the radio station think about the dangers about water intoxication when they have a competition on drinking water? that is like exactly how people overdose on E dies, too much water in their system.
The nurse should know better.
So it only takes a bit of stupidity from both sides..
I don't think people who overdose on E don't die from too much water in their systems. generally when you do E you get VERY thirsty and drink way too much water because you feel like you are dehydrated so then you get water intoxification from drinking what you percieve to be a little water but is actually a ton. Either way...don't do it much...spinal fluid is always a good thing!
Same idea with people who run marathons, they have to pace the amount of water they drink so they don't drink too much.
and now we resume our regular programming....
