Mom of 3 dies holding her pee for a Wii contest

The radio station are gonna pay for that I guess....

that is beyond sad

Thats some crazy shit. Wonder if the family will sue. Im sure they can and probably will. Its america.. everyone sues.

I hope they'll sue, very sad, what a fucked up contest.

i wonder if the kids will end up playing the Wii

or any game console for that matter

Why not hire a doctor just in case?

Why didn't the radio station make them drink gatorade instead of water??? Or at the very least drink gatorade every so often depending on how much water is consumed... If she would have drank gatorade she wouldn't have died

bad idea for a contest

really pisses me off ...

This really sucks

Sad story, never thought you could die from a water O.D.

The kids probably don't even want the wii now.

This is sad..so sad

That's insane! I wonder what she felt like before she died. If she knew something was wrong or what.

Just another case of death caused by dihydrogen monoxide. When will the governments of the world wake up to themselves and ban the shit


Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills
uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are
caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen
monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes
severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive
sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea,
vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become
dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:
* is also known as hydric acid, and is the major component of acid
rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of
automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

CONTAMINATION IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every
stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is
global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In
the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property
damage.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce
remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can
be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact
on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED!

The American government has refused to ban the production,
distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance
to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other
military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and
designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it
during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities
receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground
distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

Never knew there was such a thing as water intoxication

See what somebody gets just to have others happy.. sad story. I really feel for the kids, they're too young....

Dihydrogen monoxide
CONTAMINATION / DEATH IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!! IT MUST BE BANNED!!

omg.. that is sad. it just goes to show.. tomorrow is not a promise.

Just shows the value of common sense.

Some of these contests and reality shows are crazy.

That is sad and tragic

i wonder if a little salt added to the water would have helped saved off death?

I nominate her for Darwin's Award 2007, http://www.darwinawards.com/

Stupid and fucked up indeed!

Uhm... no, not really.

Schoolgirl from Latchingdon in Essex, England died of water intoxication.

Girl from Sydney, Australia died from water intoxication.

There's also been at least one athlete in the US that died from this. Happens when someone mistakenly interprets symptoms of hyponatremia for dehydration or heat exhaustion. The symptoms are almost identical, and the person actually thinks they need more water, but they're already over hydrated.
