???

It was a mother trying to get a Wii for her kids. And just because they wanted a Wii, doesn't mean they're obsessed.

It might have been her fault, but I can't help feeling sorry for her and her family. It was kind of a dumb contest imo. :ermm:

Yeah. I bet the hosts didn't have any knowledge about the effects of drinking too much water or not going to the toilet when your body tells you it needs to.

Naa, the contest wasn't dumb. The death was, though. :'(

Only in America, eh? :lol:

We die in videogames, but... dying because of one, simply takes the biscuit. Nintendo's game plan with Wii was to get people active while playing a game. Right? Wii has been bad from the very start. Sad to see someone die for making others happy.

The “water intoxication”. That, simply, could be true. Think of it, we all have 63% of water in our bodies. She, probably went way over that! She said she had a headache. The brain was probably was having trouble taking (say 20) bottles of water into the body. What would probably happen is, she took so much water, her bladder probably shut down.

How the hell can you feel sorry for some idiot who's too dumb to go for a piss when they need to?

How can you not feel sorry for a mother who was simply trying to make her children happy?

Yeah, because killing yourself by taking part in a dangerous competition will make your kids super happy *-)

uh, not everyone knows water can poison you.

She should have just gone to the toilet, she should have known something was wrong when she started to feel bad.

The contest involved holding ones urine in. That's why. If she had peed she would have lost.

Oh no, not obsessed, she only died for it. *-)

If she had waited to get it, she wouldn't be dead.

Lose a contest for a video game console or die... such perfect logic.

And?

Seriously, who would be stupid enough to risk their lives for a gaming console, it is just ridiculous.

... it could be a possibility that maybe, oh I don't know... that she didn't know that it would kill her?
