"Hold Your Wee for a Wii." Right. How dumb can people be, to come up with these contests? [url="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/woman-dies-trying-to-win-a-wii/"]http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/woman-d...g-to-win-a-wii/[/url] :angry:

This is me with my Lawyer's Hat on: what is even more stupid is that they didn't get the person to sign a waiver. In the upcoming law suit (bound to happen) I award the plaintiffs the sum of $1 million dollars, and also the plaintiff to be paid $500 a month for 10 years to pay for childcare and utilities.

There, that'll teach them to not thoroughly research the effect of water consumption on the average human body before holding a contest that so intimately relies on the human body's chemical balance.

I dont understand why the station would be that stupid. Even I know that to much water can be harmfull to the body. WTF? Im even more suprised that no one (A doctor, a nurse, anyone with half a mind) tried to stop it!

Basically, the contestants were supposed to drink an amount of water every few minutes, and try not to have to go to the bathroom. The last one who didn't go won a Wii.

incredibly stupid competition, the idea behind winning the Wii should have been more thought out.

A mother dying for her children to win a bloody Wii. Sad, that. She should have waited. Now where will those little kids go? Probably some sought of home. Knowing that their mother is dead. Stupid, stupid, stupid people.
