Hold Your Wee for a WII Ends in Death

What have I always told you: Don't be stupid. Don't act like a jerk. Video games can be stupid and make you do things to look like a jerk. If only this woman had listened:


"A woman who competed in a radio station's contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said.

Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova, California, home hours after taking part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner.

"She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," said Laura Rios, one of Strange's co-workers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. "She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."

It was not immediately know how much water Strange consumed. "
