Wii Represent

This just in: the Nintendo Wii is just to die for. Or to be more specific, to drink too much water and get water poisoning for:

A Californian woman died of water poisoning after taking part in a bizarre drinking contest to win a computer games console, according to US authorities.

Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead in her home in Rancho Cordova, California, on Friday after drinking as much water as she could without going to the toilet

A preliminary investigation by the local coroner determined that her death was "consistent with a water intoxication death". It is not yet known how much water she drank.

Ms Strange, a mother-of-three, had taken part in radio station KDND 107.9's "hold your wee for a Wii" contest, in a bid to win a Nintendo Wii video games system.

Laura Rios, one of Ms Strange's colleagues at Radiological Associates of Sacramento, said Ms Strange had complained of a severe headache after participating in the contest.

Ms. Rios said: "She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad. She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."


In all seriousness though, this is rather unique. I can’t blame this woman really for making this mistake. I mean, come on. Who’s heard of water poisoning?

I’m probably going to get a comment on that.
