Lets review:
28 years old, multiple kids, yet lacking funds to buy a Wii.
No thought of saving for it, no, lets just drink a lot of water and not urinate until her electrolytes are diluted enough to stop her heart.
She didn't even leave her children a heroic story. For the rest of their lives they get to tell this wonderful tale and relive how stupid their mother was.
I hope when you die it is from something intelligent, and that that is a consolation to you.
Why didn't she just lie to the radio station? Did they have someone there to guarantee she was drinking that much without relieving herself? Why did she play the game to begin with? Was she that dumb?
In all fairness, Pukin', most of those outside the military and/or high level health and fitness occupations don't know about water toxicity. Hell, the Army didn't even really start talking about it until around 7-8 years ago.
Did you happen to see Without a Trace last night?
The 'missing' gent was an enterer of eating contests ~ as the hour unfolded, his past history was revealed, stemming from a prostitute mother who'd allow him to stuff his face while servicing clients in the house.
Your comment about the mother's legacy reminded me of this.
