It was only a matter of time...

Wow, so she died from drinking water?

[Revolution911]

So...did she get the Wii?

[Dragonium]

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.

Thats like kicking her dead body in the crotch afterwards.

[Archem]

XD It would have been worth it.

man sucks for her. Dying from overhydration? That is very rare.

[oooog]

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:

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!!!!

[Almeidaboo]

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.

[Desimodontidae]

That is the coolest thing I've heard all day.

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
