Wiis are not worth more than your life

I understand the need to get your hands on a Wii. But some people go a little far. Fist-fights and elbowing people. Maybe. But not dying. Rule #1: Nothing or no one, outside of your family or your country, is worth dying for. Not even for Jessica Alba. (Article from KCRA news)

The family of Jennifer Strange said she died after taking part in a competition at the office of KDND 107.9 The End in an attempt to win a Nintendo Wii video game system for her three children. Assistant Sacramento County coroner Ed Smith said a preliminary investigation found evidence consistent with water intoxication in the death.Strange was the runner-up in the contest that required drinking huge amounts of water in a short amount of time.Contest winner Lucy Davidson recalled how she and Strange both got ill after the contest."After it was all over ... we both went into the bathroom and we were both sick," Davidson said. "She's throwing up. I'm throwing up. I mean, we just had too much."

Rule #2: Unless you are trying for tickets to the Super Bowl or a Grateful Dead concert, DO NOT COMPETE IN RADIO CONTEST. By the way, thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
