Hold Your Wee for a Wii

[Benny Seagull]

this is absolutely tragic. mother of three tries to win a nintendo wii for her kids by taking part in a radio competition to drink as much water as possible without going to the bog, loses, and later dies of acute water intoxication.

only in america? how the radio dj's get away with just being sacked is beyond me.

Wasn't there a case of a guy that choked to death in Wales during an eating competition in a bar?

 

[Benny Seagull]

there certainly must be a few eating competition-related deaths but a grey area as to where the responsibility lies? there must be disclaimers and all sorts of legal mumbo to sign before but for a radio show?

i'd like to see the presenters take a bit more responsibility for such a ridiculous and down-right dangerous game.
