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.'
