What next? See how long you can live in a box to win a XBOX360? I could see doing this for a PS3 just because they're so dang expensive, but torturing yourself to win a Wii. At least she was doing it for her children. I have nothing else to say... *pity* Quote: |
...she died of water intoxication.
| Water intoxication? Never heard of it. | |

I was just going to post this. People were talking about it at work today. None of us could believe she just didn't throw up, or piss her pants. | |

It happens. Especially to ecstacy users, that's what most of the deaths are from.
Anyways, I don't think she even considered the risk of water intoxication. 2 Gallons is a shit load of water to have to drink. I just couldn't justify doing this for a Wii. I'd rather take the risk of spending 250 dollars =P | |

People take this too far. Its like, they make all these stupid games for people to participate in for the entertainment without considering any consequences. It sux that someone had to die because of it. Imagine what her kids think...I feel sorry for them

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 game console sells for about $250. | Good call.
It's a good thing this woman exists outside my monkeysphere. Otherwise I couldn't take it lightly. | |

Man, yea i heard about this.
Apparently too much water in your system (like 2+ gallons) all at once causes your brain to literally "float" inside your skull. egads!
