Lady Dies from Too much water!

jacobsmama wrote: Did you guys hear about that?

A mother was trying to win a Nintendo Wi for her kids and so she entered a competition at a radio station called "hold your pee for a wi"

She died from drinking too much water too fast....

I couldn't belive it when I heard that....

C&K*s Mommie replied: I heard about that, and was dumbfounded even then that someone can die from water poisoning.

So sad for her kids to be without a mother, now.

Kentuckychick replied: I was just so disturbed by the fact that the radio station had that contest to begin with... I mean okay so apparently no one had heard of water poisoning (I had!) but really, don't they research these things before they have the contests!?

Now I know no one forced the woman to drink the water, that it was her choice and all, but when it comes right down to it, these tv/radio stations really need to take a minute to rethink things...

I mean certainly a woman's life was never worth a video game system.

jacobsmama replied: Yeah I'm sure they have a lawsuit coming wether she knew about water poisoining or not. I can't imagine..

luvmykids replied: How tragic! And the poor kids, having to know she was trying to win something for them when she died, I can't imagine

CantWait replied:
That's the image I can't stop thinking about.

Nina J replied: It's so sad

coasterqueen replied: OMG, the comments on this article website is appalling. Don't they know this woman was a person? Don't they know her children or husband could be reading this? This is awful. People in this world are just so cruel. No wonder other countries hate Americans, especially when you read the comments of some of these STUPID people.

Comments on this lady

Nina J replied: Some people just lack common decency . I wonder how they'd feel if it were there mother, or sister or daughter and some stranger made cruel comments?

Calimama replied: How sad! How much water do you have to drink to get water poisoning?

A&A'smommy replied: yeap I knew that could happen, saw it on strong medican (guy didn't die but almost did) and did some research. People should NOT have constests like that

Here is some information on water intoxication (same thing as water poinsoning)

Water Intoxication

JadensMama05 replied: That's wierd... water poisoning.. I've never heard of that before. Hmm.

McKenna replied: I've heard of water poisoning and I'm amazed that the radio station could try to puill something off like this, if they don't get hit by sme big fines then somethings wrong in the world!

redplaydoh replied: This is so tragic!

gr33n3y3z replied: to much of anything isnt good for you
Very sad

my2monkeyboys replied: I think it's awful... a tragedy in the biggest sense. The radio station should have looked into things a little more, but I think it's no more their fault than it is hers. It was an accident... no one meant for this to happen.
Lawsuits will do nothing but make the lawyers richer and keep the doors open to blame everyone else for your own decisions.
I just pray for the family, that they will find some peace despite this.

coasterqueen replied:
So true, so true it isn't even funny. I see this on a daily basis and it's sick.

sparkys2boys replied: It's such a shame. Those poor kids will end up blaming themselves for this.

lisar replied: What a shame.

luvmykids replied:
OMG This one really has me seething....

There were way too many comments on that site that had my blood boiling. I am just truly amazed at people in this world. It makes me want to puke.

HuskerMom replied: I didn't hear about that lady but I read about a frat house that used shots of water as part of their initiation. Some kid took enough shots of water it killed him. So sad.

holley79 replied: I heard about this also. Nuts.
