A 28-year-old suburban Sacramento woman died of apparent “water intoxication” after participating in a contest — “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” — sponsored by local radio station 107.9 KDND. The rules were simple: Participants simply competed to see how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom. The winner would receive a shiny new Wii video game console, the highly coveted, $250 must-have from Nintendo.
The station in the quote above thinks so little of it's listeners that it was willing to degrade and even kill them for a Nintendo publicity stunt; Nintendo, as far as I can tell already has plenty of publicity and probably doesn't want this sort anyway...
The non-profit station I volunteer at is not like this. For our 2nd birthday party we are having live music and free food for our listeners.
Don't listen to corporate radio- it can kill you.
Listen to indie radio- it will feed you.

This is big news here in O-Town,what with our proximity to Sacramento.
I don't listen to corporate radio,if it doesn't kill you,you'll wish you were dead.
What I find hard to believe is how stupid the promoters were. I know I can't be the only one who knows that drinking too much water is bad for you. Besides wasn't there a woman a couple of years back who dropped dead at the Boston Marathon for the very same reason. Corporate media is stupid.
THERE WAS A KID WHO DIED IN A COLLEGE HAZING FROM DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER..ARE THESE PEOPLE NUTS? JUDAS PRIEST..
