Hold Your Wee For A Wii!


I'm afraid this isn't a title trying to be funny... a group of radio station competition contestants were handed 8-ounce bottles of water to drink every 15 minutes and had to hold in their urine. The winner who could "hold it in" the longest was promised a Nintendo Wii console. A 28 year old Jennifer participated in the contest and was subsequently found dead of what is believed to be water intoxication.

When my husband mentioned it in the car I don't know what hit me but I was really upset. She was doing the contest for her kids. The fact that someone would go to extreme measures just to get hold of a computer console that many are desperate for really saddens me. It saddens me because they are desperate for it and it saddens me because they feel they need it to make their life more fulfulling.
 
I can admit, me and Pete own a Wii. And it is one amazing console. But it is something that we could live without and in fact if someone was desperate enough to risk their life for one I think we'd give it away.

It is just so sad. I could ramble on for ages about it but I really can't express it in words!
 
Oh Lord! Please help us!
