Hold Your Wee For A Wii...

I know I'm a little behind in the times now.. but I recently found out about the radio contest in the States...

HOLD YOUR WEE FOR A WII

The object of the contest: Contestants are given an 8oz drink of water every 10 minutes and the last one to go to the toilet wins a Wii... easy enough, right?

Well, what most people don't know reminds me of an old addage my dad used to recite to me: "too much of anything is good for nothing". That includes something as simple as water... When we consume too much water bad things can happen. A.K.A. Water Intoxication or Hyperhydration.

You see where this is going, ya? The runner up ended up taking the JT Concert tickets in place of the Wii... she complained of headaches and nausea... Several hours later she was found dead in her home...

Listen to some footage...

dying because of too much water & for wii is definately not worth it.

You're absolutely right, and the DJs and all those involved should have done more research before getting into it. It's unfortunate that a mother had to lose her life due to the negligence of others... tho she also should have done the same...
