Hold Your Wee For A Wii

This is a cool article I read about the Wii:

A radio station has sacked 10 employees, including the hosts of its morning show, after a woman died following an on-air water-drinking contest.

Bosses at Californian radio station, KDND-FM's Morning Rave have also suspended the show.

Jennifer Lea Strange, 28, died after taking part in a contest called Hold your Wee for a Wii.

Contestants who were urged to try to win a Nintendo Wii gaming console by seeing how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom.

During the contest, contestants were given two minutes to drink an 8oz (225ml) bottle of water and then given another bottle to drink after a 10-minute break.

Witnesses said Strange may have drunk nearly two gallons (7.5 litres).

After the contest, Strange called in sick to work.

She was found dead at her home about five hours later.

The Sacramento County coroner said preliminary autopsy findings indicated she died of water intoxication.

Drinking large quantities of water rapidly can throw off the body's balance of electrolytes, causing brain swelling and leading to seizures, coma or even death.

Strange had showed fellow contestants photographs of her two sons and daughter, for whom she was hoping to win the Nintendo Wii.

The radio station's vice president and general manager, John Geary, said: 'We are doing everything we can to deal with this difficult situation in a manner that is both respectful and responsible.'

A New Game System Apears At My House...

Last Tuesday, January 2^nd 2007, my mother, brother and I went to our local Wal-mart to just do some after Christmas shopping. When we got there I went straight to the Electronics Department, as I always do, and went looking around, like I always do. I passed by the Games aisle and briefly looked at the PS3 games. But what to my wondering eyes should appear but a sled and 2 shiny reindeer. No not really, substitute a sled with nothing and the 2 shiny reindeer with 2 PS3s. As fast as I could walk I found my brother and told him quickly about the 2 60gig PS3 just sitting there. I told him to walk by the glass case and just look quickly at the PS3s. We were excited like it was Christmas. It almost looked like we were going to break open the case and steal the PS3s. Anyways we found my mother and told her. She didn’t believe it, and thought we were lying because she has been looking for a PS3 for about a month and hasn’t found one yet. Anyway long story short, we bought a 60 gig PS3 and Tony Hawk Project 8. Not the best game on the PS3 but love the PS3.

A new year has approached us and what can I say, NO SNOW. It’s early January and I look outside and NO SNOW. I can’t complain though, I rather have a hot winter then a cold winter. Just the thing is that in the summer it’s going to be EXTRA hot because of the hot winter. Confused?

Happy New Year Everyone
