Wii clames first victim
heard this on KDWB (local radio station) this morning.... I guess a radio station in Cali had a contest to see who could drink the most water without having to pee or throw up and the winnner would winna wii. well one lady won and later she died from it.
heres the link
people are idiots. im sure those djs feel like asses for letting that happen.

A Californian woman died of water poisoning after taking part in a bizarre drinking contest to win a computer games console, according to US authorities.
Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead in her home in Rancho Cordova, California, on Friday after drinking as much water as she could without going to the toilet
A preliminary investigation by the local coroner determined that her death was “consistent with a water intoxication death”. It is not yet known how much water she drank.
Ms Strange, a mother-of-three, had taken part in radio station KDND 107.9’s “hold your wee for a Wii” contest, in a bid to win a Nintendo Wii video games system.

yaa that is unfortuniate, a few years a go a kid in a fraternity died becasue of "water intoxication" the frat made him drink too much water instead of beer, its when your bodies cells try to maintain equilebrium in the cells becasue the cells become hydrolitic to the amout of water concentration around....in simple terms the water rushed into her cells, popping them and eventually her internal organs failed...what an unfortunaite way to die over a game system
