Woman dies from water intoxication

Exactly. The idiot lottery is far too great a win, I always wonder if people intentionally tempt it to see if they can get a shitload of money in the end

 

I don't know what you are argueing with this statement?
in that case the radio station should have known better?
S

 

Thats what I mean. It is stupid to have a contest like that. I wasn't actually argueing anything just making a comment really. The radio stations should have told the contestant that there where health risks from drinking just water.

 

what is the radio station had a russian roulette contest, should something like that be allowed?

the station is totally open for a lawsuit, fuck 'em

 

if people are stupid enough to play russian roulette, then thats on the contestants not the people who are hosting it. as long as you have the freedom to choose to play or not, you should be held personally repsonsible for whatever actions you do to your body - but thats not the case, but thats how i believe it should be

 

I hate radio stations, so i hope they get sued

if its some stupid country station I hope it burns down, death to modern country

 

I think in this case It is not common to hear of water intox. so the radio station had the obligation to inform the contestants of possible harm.

 

totally agreed

 

I don't think the radio station should be sued for millions...but they are negligent.

 

am i smoking crack, or did i not read in that article where the contestants WERE warned?

 

don't ask me, I didn't read the article

I just hate radio stations

 

and i quote: “They were small little half-pint bottles, so we thought it was going to be easy,” said fellow contestant James Ybarra of Woodland. “They told us if you don’t feel like you can do this, don’t put your health at risk.”

 

how would a person know if they could do it or not

honestly, i still think the station is partly to blame, if they did not have this retardo contest, the woman would not have died

hopefully they are clear channel, in which case, I hope they are sued with brute force

 

They weren't warned that the contest could be fatal. Thinking you might get a bit sick is a far cry from thinking you could die...

 

for heaven's sake, i feel bad for the poor idiot, but at the same time, didn't agaonizing PAIN tell her anything? do we have to have our hands held over every single thing we do? i call this a darwin award, i really do.

 

I call it Darwin too, but I want eating/drinking contests in general to stop, and radio stations to be sued

 

I thought you wanted them burned down...

 

sued first, burned second.

 

If we didn't have these retardo automobiles, we wouldn't have people dying left right and centre from car accidents.

I vote you sue the family of whoever invented the modern car. Totally their fault, we should've been warned.
*sigh*
Yes, that's a ridiculously extreme example. The point being that there's a certain line where you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Over consumption of anything can be bad for you, if you're entering a contest you should read up on what the contest entails and decide for yourself if the risk is worth the potential reward.

 

its just odd that they have these contests encouraging people to do deangerous things, like eating to the point of death

Its not that I think they should be outlawed, i just wish all the people who dream these up and put them on died

ultimately though, i guess you are right, who gives a fuck about these people

that is what you said right
