So...did she get the Wii?

Wow.

I mean, playing consoles is bad for you in the long run, but the Wii is the first console I've seen that kills you when you haven't even played it.

Apparently, drinking too much water makes your brain swell, which prevents you from breathing and stuff. Who would've knew.

EDIT: And apparently, some other guy won it.

Just shows how far someone would go to get the sexilicious wii.

However, I can see a lot of people will bring this up in "wii sucks" related discussions.  And being the supporter I am, I feel obligated to say:

Quote

Jennifer Strange was found dead Friday in her home hours after taking part in the KDND 107.9 contest to win a Wii video game system.


By no means reflects any fault of Nintendo.  It's KDND 107.9's fault.  They're the idiots.  The result would've been the same had it been, hold your pee for a Playstation three,  or xbox three sixty.  All rhymed.  More power to me.  Besides, she could have just stopped.

I wonder who will be the first to say "oooog man, nobody said it WAS Nintendo's fault."  It's a double whammy situation.  Never directly stated, but implied, but yet can be swayed to make the first person to mention it look bad.  WEEEEEE!!!!

Ohhh no, itīs HER fault. Nobody obligated her to do anything, she did on her free will. Plus, being such a freak to win a videogame? Die weirdo.

itīs just like the time that some mall in Brazil made a contest that youīd win a car if you ate a roach alive...so gross.

I dunno. Wii causes overhydration. PS3 causes bullets in your face.

I like the latter.

Actualy hyponatremia is not that rare. It mostly happens to runners. It basicaly has the same symptomes as dehydration so the person is usualy given more water.

The 360 causes you to be eaten by zombies, so yeah, I'd say the PS3 is the best choice.

Hahaha. xD

That must suck.

"Here, you look dehydrated, have some more water".
"No... please... no more..."
"Nonsense. Here".
"Graagh" *Dies*
"F*ck".

It shouldn't be funny but it is. xD

I think the radio station should have given her family a Wii afterwards. It's only fair.

No, I still think the Wii's the best. I mean, at least I can relieve myself until the super-hydration subsides. There's not a whole lot I can do about bullets in my face, or zombies eating me.

Technically, the radio stationisn't responsible. It's the woman's fault for being a victim of natural selection. :P

One of my friends was showing me this yesterday. Had she really never heard about overhydration?

It's one of the biggest dangers of ecstacy actually. Screws with your system for telling whether you need more water or not. Before you know it, you drunk yourself to death.

Hey, I've listened to that radio station before... Those bastards..

Wow... I never realised how retarded people could be. I mean, I love PS3, but I know about dehydration, and i'd never attempt that if i knew of the possible side effects.

Not DEhydration, WG, overhydration!

WG, you used the wrong no there... >.>


Uh, wouldn't it be easyer to just plain buy a wii, than kill you yourself... DUDE,

Two ideas:

One, the mum did it on purpose to prove a sick point to her children that they need to stop asking her for a wii,

Two, nintendo needs to use this for marketing, "So good you'll die for"

Next generation consoles are like Nikes. People go crazy over them then look totally stupid afterwards. And rightfully so...

You know the worst part? Now that this happened, reports of the negative effects of water are abounding. But that's all bull-crap! Water is pretty much the most important thing for the human body (it can last only three days without it). And to think, people go days without it and drink only Gatorade!!

Gatorade is okay, but when you're doing excercise. Otherwise, in the long run, Gatorade is salt water, due to the electrolytes (it'll make you  thirstier (sp).

People should have the common sense that anything in excessive amounts is dangerous. 'Sides--the lady hadn't gone to the bathroom! That in itself is a rare occasion!

The only way to win that, is too.



Well, just generaly make your body sweat the most you can.

But DON'T take E's, as that'll make you die faster. =O
