No criminal charges will be filed in "hold your wee for a wii" contest disaster

Most of you have probably heard by now the story of Mrs. Jennifer Strange. She participated in a radio contest in an attempt to win a Nintendo Wii for her children. The contest determined a winner based on who could drink the most water. Unfortunately, a few hours after Mrs.Strange participated, she died of water intoxication.

Anyways, there was almost a court case to file criminal charges against the radio station. The would-be prosecution determined that the whole event was one tragic accident, and that there was no way the radio station could have prevented the death of Jennifer Strange. This is because Mrs.Strange did not show any signs of water intoxication at the event. The radio station has fired 10 employees since the tragic incident. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Strange family against the radio station remains in court.

SilverelDunno, but I was cracking up watching Attack of the Show on G4 the other day. They were giving away a Wii, and kept throwing, kicking, dropping, and slapping it across the studio everytime they talked about it. The studio audience kept going "awwwww!". Funniest console abuse ever, the Wii deserves it.
Yeah I saw that, then they announced Dead Zone and 4400 being cancelled (damn writers' strike!) pissed me off so much.

Yeah water intoxication, there is such a thing. Get that smartwater stuff, it's really good and has electrolytes. I feel so refreshed after drinking one of those things.
