The Dumbness of America Game Promotions Continue


Okay good-morning people...what the hell is going on with you?!?!? Well, we've been chilling and trying to do the sleep intervention for lil'sarccastik but that's a process...we know!! But he must turn her bed into a big bed...she's in a daybed, so we're going to get rails and boxsprings and mattress. Her bed turns into a full-size bed...but we're working on it...but that's not the issue!!! I gotta write about the dumbness of these promotions...did you hear about the water death!!

SACRAMENTO, California (AP) -- A woman who competed in a radio station's contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said Saturday.

Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova home hours after taking part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner.

"She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," said Laura Rios, one of Strange's co-workers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. "She was crying, and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."

Okay, there is no way in hell...i would get into a game like that...drink water without going to the bathroom....DO YOU KNOW THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS ON THIS? If i was the radio station's legal dept....i would've said...ARE YOU GUYS INSANE? NO WAY, WE ARE DOING IT?!?!?!...I didn't see the American Idol...and no way in hell am i looking at I luve (lil'ugly) New York!!! Happy Thursday!!!

U know how they say to drink water cuz its good for u..well drining to much water can kill you. thats absurb. I heard they pulled the plug on the Dj's that pulled the stunt and tehy will prolly get sued. Its just tragic.

Homie should have known that drinking too much water was gonna do some damage then again folks tend not to think about that. On top of that how do you not go to the bathroom after drinking all that water..I can't hold it..it won't let me. It will just come out if I don't let it out...I wonder if she still gets the Wii?

omgoodness... that's so serious!

tragic but stupid. Over a fucking Wii at that? Not a playstation 3 or anything but a damn Wii, *sigh* but i did hear the DJ got fired.

Now I'm turning my eye to the 9 yr old kid who stole SEVERAL cars and snuck on 2 flights in order to get to Dallas.

Ass whooping much?!

@ Sarccastik

THAT's exactly what I'm scared of...I've seen the women in my family *shudder* I'm not trying to go down that long road of gravy trains and ham hock thighs

*sigh* No more food network for me....

What I don't get is why on earth would a 28 year old woman drink that much water and hold herself? She was irresponsible...the station should have sought legal advice before that but still are the station and dj's responsible for an adult doing something so silly?

First off...they're doing this for a Nintendo Wii. In retrospect....nah...f that....in current-spect...endangering your health aint worth 250 bones (which is how much one of those retail) That just ain't worth it. As a video game enthusiast, I'll never understand some of the drastic measures that some people take to get the newest thing (my boy stayed all night at Best Buy in the freezing cold to get a PS3). Preorder shit dammit...or wait till they become readily available. It ain't worth it at all.

They firee erry-boddy (about ten people, including the morning crew) as a result of this. . '

But forget them for a minute. .

I didn't know anything about water intoxication, but I do know about bladders and kidneys, and I'm not ruining them for anything, or anybody!

The family is suing and the hosts of that radio show were fired this week too.

The story is just fucked up. Why would you drink so much and not PISS?

WHYYYYYYYYY?

4:24 AM  

10 people got fired behind that foolishness. i don't know how they could've possibly gotten a legal dept. to sign off on that. oh yeah, honey, she didn't win. she was a runner up, so nope she didn't get the wii. her hubby is a widow and her 3 kids don't have a mother.
