Just too much stupidity all the way around.
I heard the original recording —she was groaning, saying things like, “Oh God, I feel like I’m about to die..!”
Well no one really dies from driking water, right? So the two hosts were laughing their head off about it.
GREAT lawyer material...!
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
She gave her life to win a Ninetendo Wii? She valued her health and well-being at what, $400? The radio station are idiots and I hate to speak ill of the dead but my heavens...you think she’d have researched the potential adverse health consequences of something like this. Shows what our culture has become...do whatever you have to in order to spoil your kids.
Water you lookin' at me like that for?
Di-hydrogen monoxide poisoning is more common than many understand.
Still, Nobody crammed a firehose in her mouth.
Their lawyers actually argued that in Court? Unbelievable!
Allow me to retort:
If a contestant is expected to know that the stunt is dangerous, should not those responsible for holding the contest also know it?
I'd vote against the station as well. Not sure on the 16.0 million though.
i guess the family can get that wi now... an employee who worked down the hall from me died during a hiking trip after he drank a lot of water... he just collapsed and died right there... drink electrolytes!
See! Dihydrogen monoxide kills. Ban it!
I have no problem with this verdict. Total stupidity to do this and not have an MD present.
