I remember reading a story not too long ago about an anti-alchohal fraternity in which their hazing ritual required drinking large amounts of water through a funnel. Well one person died from this and I would have though people realized that this isn't a good idea. And holding your wee really isnt healthy for you either, I'm no medicine major, but I'm pretty sure that would mess up your kidneys or something.

Regardless this story is really sad :(

Something to do with salt levels in your body which get extremely low

"Rapid intake of too much water floods the inside of cells when sodium is depleted. This sodium depletion, called hyponatremia, can rupture the cells, either from extra pressure on the cells from without, or from pressure within flooded cells. As cells rupture in various parts of the body, certain symptoms emerge with rapidity. Severe vomiting and nausea are common. Headache may occur as the brain swells. A person may be confused or disoriented."

oooh really interesting never knew water can kill like that?

Yea, you can die from too much caffeine too. But if drinking regular coffee, you'll at least become too sick from this before the caffeine can kill you.

Who held the contest, I can see a lawsuit opportunity (and i'm not even American :P)

The most strange of all that are this last weeks seem that somebody wants to relate Wii with accidents, death, danger, etc.

Like if sb organized this event for getting bad publicity for wii. Just very "odd".

That puts a whole new spin on.

Pissed myself laughing, i nearly died.

people just like to piss and moan about video games

or not piss and moan

hahaha pissing myself, and she didnt even win lol

I bet her kids are pissing themselves laughing as well when there mum who just tried to get them a fucking games console didn't come home. There is time to laugh and joke but this isn't one of them imo.

I just knew that some jumped up fuckwit would have something to say about us joking about this, get a fucking life dude.

Dont try and make us feel guilty by mentioning the kids.

Millions upon millions of people die every minute of every hour of every day, deal with it, when i die you can take the piss as much as you like.

So you have never ever told a joke or taken the piss about someone that died, you have never laughed at a joke about someone famous dying or a joke about a big disaster that may of happened???????????????????????.

Dont even try and say you havent.
Get some fucking perspective.

Don’t tell me to get a life are you not the one who lives on here; you need to re read some of your own post’s on that exact comment directed at you by other member on here.

I have an opinion on something and you call me a fuckwit now tell me where that had anything to do with the subject. That in my opinion is a personal attack on me. Did I mention your name or anyone else’s name? Answer “NO” Are you saying we have to just listen to you and not say anything in return about it even if we don’t agree with the subject matter in question.


I have indeed as you put it laughed at things that maybe I shouldn’t with friends but I didn’t feel the need to broadcast it for the whole world to see that is the difference.

We are not talking about the whole population of the world and the faceless people that die everyday this was a lot more specific and you had privy to her life and background and the fact she had small children. You still felt the need to comment when maybe that was one of the time to zip it my friend because it is obvious not everyone will share you humour in this case.

Some things should just be left UN said imo.

You really are becoming an over bearing pretentious little nobody around here. You take some of your own advice and get a life vexxed even your name suggest an angry person with a grudge against the world maybe it was a Freudian slip when you chose your name.

For your information I do in fact have a life and a great life at that. I am educated and successful attorney and very proud of it. But thanks for the suggestion maybe I will take your advice and throw it all away to be like you. (An angry and self obsessed egocentric little dictator) Grow up and realise not everyone will find your humour tasteful and deal with it, and stop making yourself look like the person you so elegantly and colourfully quoted me as being.

I don’t see any reason to carry on this infantile conversation with you as you obviously have time to continue bating fellow members into long drawn out pointless arguments of which. 1) I have no time to pursue with you or 2) can be bothered because I couldn’t care less about your opinion anymore. If you don’t see you are becoming a one man dictatorship around here you are in fact blind to your own ego.

I will continue to post here and say what I feel if the subject matter makes me feel it deserves some kind of response even if you don’t like it. I never once said you or anyone else didn’t have the right to post your comments I found them distasteful under the circumstances and voiced my opinion that was all.

As far as I am concerned it is END of debate. I am sure it is not for you because your personality will dictate you must indeed have the last say. So feel free to post until your head explodes with anger.

Oh one more thing have a nice day.

Well as you insist i will reply.

I do find it funny that i allways get refered to as angry, i have never got angry from anything that is posted on here, theres a big difference between having a strong opinion on something and being angry.

My name was nothing more than a recomendation after trying a million and one different names when i first got Xboxlive after it wouldnt allow me the names i was trying since they was already taken and its now just the name i use for eveything, nothing more nothing less it holds no meaning.

I am far from a one man dictatorship but if thats how you see me then thats fine, we aint all going to get along all the time.

The one thing i dont do though is pretend to be something i am not.
So you may have laughed at some things you maybe shouldnt have in the comfort zone of your friends but you wouldnt do it in earshot of anyone else because you obviously wouldnt want to offend anyone, well thats just hypercritical imo.

If your view point is that you shouldnt mock people for unfortunate events or take the piss out of people then personally i think you should never make fun or joke about anything because there will allways be someone out there that will find it offensive.

All my point was is that you should practice what you preach, maybe i didnt say it in a polite enough manner for you, it just allways winds me up when someone gets all high and mighty over stuff like this if anyone jokes about it.

The next time you hear a joke or someone says something funny thats about someones death or an accident or a disaster that involved a lot of deaths i bet when your laughing your head off with your friends you wont even stop to think that the person or people involved may well of had children and would of obviously had friends and family.

Just because this is in detail it doesnt make it any more real and wrong to joke about than any other kinda joke.
The only time i would say its wrong to do so is if you know the person or people personally, you dont know these people anymore than you know any other person you have never met or seen.
Just off the top of my head, you never laughed at a Micheal Jackson child abuse related joke?, that whole thing got way more press than this story ever will but i bet you dont think of the poor kids that got abused when someone tells you that Micheal Jackson prefers under eights as opposed to after eights.

I will have a nice day thankyou, hope yours is good too but if anyone tells you a joke about any real events involving death and misfotune i hope you give them a good telling off, maybe if you do it enough all the wrongs in this world will right themselves and we can all live happily ever after.
