Don't drink too much water

[peapod1980]

You got it. Don't be scared to drink water...we seem to have had bottled water glued to our hands since the early 1990's and nobody has hydrated themselves to death. You have to drink an incredible amount of water to accomplish what happened to that poor lady.

Sorry, but this raises another question--I had heard the amount she drank shouldn't have killed her, is that right?

this may seem a litle elementary, but i would think that if a radio station holds a contest that will affect the bodily functions, then thorough research should be done. where was the input from risk management? the family should eventually own the station. there is no excuse for her death. i read about this last week when it happened and was livid, still am. this is a known effect of overhydrating.

My brother was a DJ and let's just say the DJs are not the most likely candidates to do such research. Program & general managers pretty much have to CYA at all times. I'm not sure stations have "risk management" people but they sure should. Somebody royally screwed up here. It's horrifying.

:shock: I saw this for a second...but wasn't paying attention...Yikes.

this is one of 6 stations owned. granted, not a large company by today's megaconclomorate standards, but large enough to need some legal representation on retainer. and, any contests must have a budget assigned to them that upper mgt must sign off on.

from the station:

All of you are probably aware of the tragic death of a contestant, Jennifer Strange, following her participation in a contest on the Morning Rave last Friday.

First and foremost, our thoughts and sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of Ms. Strange.

I also want to assure you that the circumstances regarding this matter are being examined as thoroughly as possible. We are doing everything we can to deal with this difficult situation in a manner that is both respectful and responsible. Effective immediately, the Morning Rave show is canceled.

Thank you.

Water Intoxication

Miracles can happen! I got a Nintendo Wii and didn't have to hold my wee and die to get it! Just walked through Target, and there it was. All by itself. Waiting for me!

Actually- Will got the Wii- it was his money. But he let me play it, and it is FUN! I almost hit Kate in the face with the controller though, since you mimic the action on the screen (I was playing tennis, and swinging the racket).

Yea!!!! Remember when I told you Mr OL camped out for one...well, the next day our neighbor walked into walmart and they were just putting them out. He grabbed one and then proceded to list it on ebay. Oh well, Mr OL said it was said and done and wasn't taht bad camping out. Dylan still doesn't know how we got one.

But yes, it is funn!!! Did you buy a second controller? It's funn to play tennis against someone. Last night I played 9 holes of golf. Oh, you've probably figured this out already but DO wear the wrist strap! One of Dylan's friends almost broke the glass to our entertainment center when he flung the remote...and he was just putting!

The other cool toy was Kate's new "Walk the Dog Barbie". You put a little brown tic-tac shaped treat in the dog's mouth, lift the tail, and it comes out the back end! Then Barbie has her magnetized poop pickup stick and picks up the poop (the tic-tac poop has a magnet inside it). I swear I am not making this up!!
