Anybody else read about this? There was a Wii give away contest to see how much amount of water people could hold down. Turns out a single mom died trying to win her kids a Wii. :(

Mom will win it for you.

Mom dead.

great present from the mom.
 
That is pretty much terrible, wow.
 
That's heartbreaking. Though it would've been a smart move to have some kind of medical supervision overseeing the contest.
 
Wii Kills.

This is also the best example of Wiitarded
 
Oh come on that was a solid zinger.

Surely it's a tragedy for the family. That aside who researches this crap before they throw a contest?

Any moron with half a brain could've told you it's incredibly easy to drink yourself to death when slamming water like it's going out of style. Hell i believe i've seen a storyline done on CSI or some crap about it, it's incredibly easy information to get ahold of. I assumed it was common knowledge.

Mom's fault for not stopping, their fault for not keeping the contest safe :P

Wiitards ftw ... at all costs ... apparently.
 
everyone attackin the woman for doing it, she wanted something for her kids to put a smile on their face. when you have kids or ask your own parents, as long as your not rich spoiled brats that get everything anyway, youll understand the feeling and love that goes into wanting to do something like that in what seemed to be a harmless competition.
I myself didnt know as well as half the people i know that you could just die from that, it sounds innocent enough.
but then again, on the internet everyone knows everything and whats best for other people, and if you die from it your just "dumb" and "deserve" it. so lets slap them with some title we made up to make us look cool and point at people in tragic situations!
Way to go guys!

ya those are internet people for you. Then they just throw up a front to try and make themselves look heartless because they think its the cool thing to do!

Nearly everyone on qcdn will not understand this, trying to make their children happy, because theyre all pretty ignorant.

If you didn't know, as the radio station producers who allowed teh contest to go on, you're uninformed and should pick up a newspaper. Years ago when ecstacy was the big thing tons of New York clubs got closed because of the deaths involved around the drug- not stemming from the drugs effects but on the water consumption because people would dance and dance and hydrate to the point of death. She should've stopped when she got a stomach ache but didn't. The contest also should've been supervised by doctors. But think about what happened from a practical standpoint, not from an "internet know-it-all" point of view. Simple chemistry, what does water do when you add it to something? It dilutes!!! A little more scientific explanation shouldn't really be necessary but ok- "If water enters the body more quickly than it can be removed, body fluids are diluted and a potentially dangerous shift in electrolyte balance occurs." This is most definitely going to go on the darwinawards.com website >.>

point is, not everyone knows that. Not everyone knows everything, when i come acrossed information i usually remember it but this is something ive never come acrossed. And im not at the age i feel the need to scan the newspapers yet, i only read the obituaries and the classifieds.
just because it was in your newspaper, doesnt mean it was in mine. The most i know about water is that if you drink alot of it you can get drunk, thats about all i knew that was random trivia about water till now.
i dont call around slammin someone who did something to make their kids day in what looked like a harmless competition.
sure it should have been supervised by doctors ill agree there.
but calling the woman dumb and using your "im sooo cool "Wiitarded"" label on the woman is just ignorant in itself.
like i said, when some of you have kids you'll understand. or even ask your parents what they would have done had the information of what could happen not been apparent. That is if your parents care about you at all.
but the "lol i knew that could happen, that person deserved it and is dumb, lets label them wiitarded and laugh at their families plight" attitude is just ignorant and childish. But then again, what else can i expect from most of the egotistical children here?

So from what I gather you're old enough to have a child/may even possibly have a child, yet you don't feel you're at the age where reading anything in a newspaper other than classifieds and obituaries is relevant. So why read what could affect you or your kids (like drinking too much water - yea, it was in YOUR newspaper too, this isn't an isolated incidence) when the "now hiring administrative assistants page" is so much more important? I'm not saying finding a job isn't important, but it actually makes sense to keep up with current events, who knows you could possibly prevent future stupidity like drinking yourself to death if you'd read a newspaper and didn't just skip to the business section. To answer your last question, what you can expect from us egotistical children... you can expect us to not be as ignorant as our elders. Oh, and you can expect us to laugh at shit like this (Ruffy don't lie you know before that was a frownie face it was :p) because it's RIDICULOUS. Hey Chasym did you know if you drink too much alcohol you can die too? Yea that was in the news too...
 
yes i know about alcohol poisoning. i know the story of the guy who took 21 shots on his 21st and died. And im sure the X story wasnt in my newspaper because i get the Glass eye and thats a my city only paper, i dont read the blade. not everyone reads the news paper, and im one of em. if its important ill see it on the news or find it on the web, which your X story, i have not seen. i dont check the news every single day either because most of the time its just a rehash of what happened yesterday being dragged out till i cant stand it anymore.
as for being old enough to have a child, I have two. i didnt know having kids meant i had to read the newspaper.
im usually pretty well kept up with current events, This story i heard on the news this morning actually before i saw this post. and as for not being as ignorant as your elders, your right. They are quite a bit less ignorant as you because they wouldnt be playing fun because of something like this happening.
Would you be happy if i said, man i hope your parents or loved ones get the opportunity to do something very special for you just to see the smile on your face, they may have to do something small or big for it and not know the end result. but i hope they die from it. Because they deserve it for being so stupid, they should have known better!
hey sure thats different because im wishing it to happen compared to something that already happened, but im sure you would all laugh afterwards too. Go tell that womans kids their mom was stupid for trying to win them that system and she deserved what she got.
may you feel their pain at the extent of others entertainment.
 
All I'm hearing from you is blah blah blah someone died and you're laughing you're all so heartless.
Get over yourself.
She died drinking water. Drinking water! It's funny, I chuckled- the fact that you want to ruin it is beyond me. And that part about reading the classifieds and obituaries was pretty funny too lol. Way to sound edubicated

*edit* if Pres. Bush died choking on a pretzel would you find that tragic too? Food for thought lol (oh snap play on words)

Dying from water intoxication, or going through the aftermath of bladder trauma. Tough call. I'd probably just go with death by intoxication if it were up to me. Sure beats the agony of going through a ruptured bladder and all the possible risks associated with it. No use prolonging the obviously inevitable while draining money away. Contest was a disaster in the making from the start, regardless of how big the servings were.

They should've just had everyone drink about a gallon of water and see who can go the longest without pissing themselves instead.
