I dunno - I think we should try this out on poor people - see how long they last etc?

oh wow, i was hoping they were ignorant to the whole risk.. this makes it even worse

 

10 people though? i wonder did all of them have a direct input to it, that seems a little like some kind of publicity thing? 

i know, the thought, however morbid, has crossed my mind and is no article anywhere that i have looked.. i'm sure it's a question thousands are asking as we speak!

Of course, the inevitable sue-age ensues:

The family of a California woman who died after participating in a radio station's water-drinking contest to win a Nintendo Wii will sue the station, their lawyer said on Thursday.

Sacramento station KDND-FM responded by firing 10 staffers, including several DJs, and canceling the Morning Rave program. The DJs had joked about people dying from water intoxication and teased Strange about her distended stomach.

"The station knew this was a dangerous and potentially deadly stunt, but flippantly dismissed the dangers," lawyer Roger Dreyer said in a statement. "Hearing the tape (of the radio show), it's very clear they knew of the dangers and could foresee that this could lead to Jennifer's death."
