Da*n what the he*l... I have never felt more hatred for the Wii and those bast***s who held the contest...

And anyone who thinks this is funny is a terrible example of a human being.

The next user that has one wise crack about this awful event will receive a 3 day bann and one guaranteed Permanente infraction point.

So go ahead let those giggles fly

The contest holders yes, but how is this the Wii's fault? Unless Nintendo supported the event. It must have seemed quite safe at the time, I don't think many people would think that drinking a lot of water can prove lethal.

And before someone can make a snide remark, "drinking" water is not the same thing as getting water in your lungs, so I am of course not referring to drowning.

wow...thats intense...i mean at one point i would have done it too for a wii and would have taken a piss afterwards really badly. Anyone know how long this contest went on for? considering the amount of time it had to be hours....i know if you hold in your pee too long you can get poisoned from it since its all the toxins and $#@!....really bad news and really bad publicity on top of that...dun blame the wii blame the radio station they told em to do that the wii didn't neither did any japs...still...hopefully the radio will give something to the family...really messed up...

It could have been anything like that.

no. that's not it at all. death via water intoxication usually happens because you don't have enough salt in your body water. sodium helps contribute to electrolytes in the body. back in the day people took salt tablets, nowadays we have gatorade. it's kind of like the exact opposite of dying from dehydration.

Thats a sad story, were there no safety regulations?

Any one who finds it funny has a very twisted sense of humour.

Its not the Wiis fault. Im sick of people getting hurt or killed over stupid game systems. First there was the mugging, then the beating, now stupid water drinking contest for a, of all things, Wii?

yeah, this really isnt funny. all i can think of is how lighthearted the whole affair must have been, and just how disastrous this is. so sad.

i wonder why she didnt throw up? i thought the body rejects stuff when it gets too much of it
