Provided the contestants were TOLD of the fact that consumption of too much water can cause water intoxication resulting in death (as opposed to it being written on a piece of paper that no one reads but signs anyway), then I think the contestants themselves are to blame.

However if the radio hosts did not disclose such an important matter, and thought that a disclaimer on a piece of paper would save them, then they should rot in prison because they probably chose not to disclose it because it would affect there "ratings" as people may not proceed with it.

anyone who enters a reality show on TV or Radio should just be shot no questions asked

**** man how bad is that, the chick on the radio says after hearing the callers coments

"maybe we should have reserched this a bit" hell yes you should have! especially knowing someone had died from it already. Yeah i think they should be held accountable, they had prior knowlege of a death and were warned during the contest that there's a risk of death. i wonder if the release form they signed state that there was a good chance of dieing in doing what they were doing? ;)

BTW... why is this in the buy/sell section??

[MT]

thanks DHC i didnt even notice! moved now

[Mikey]

i read about this a few weeks ago too. dunno who to blame really.

btw, a safer idea would've just been to see who can pee the MOST

[MT]

Who needs to be told? I knew that back in high school.

I'd say it's Darwinism at work except for the fact she had kids, anyway they'll get their Wii out of the fat compo payment her family is likely to receive. Heard a great comment on this the other day, instead of trying to win a Wii for her kids in a stupid radio contest maybe she should've been at work earning enough money to buy one.

Hell even if they've watched the Simpsons in the last couple of years then surely they've seen the episode where Grandpa Simpsons kidneys exploded

EDIT: Ok after watching the videos that'd be right, make water illegal ;) Anyway I think there is certainly a civil case deserving of compensation but again i'd argue that the contestants should've known the risks or at least done a bit of research before participating. And before anyone wants to flame me 'won't somebody think of the children' style my mum died when I was a kid so i'm certainly not immune from the feeling however in her case it was an everyday case of breast cancer...

hey nek when they where talking about if u drink too much water it can lead into intoxication that was before the contest so they actually didint tell the contestants about it i know there jerks

but the thing is theres another part of the radio but i cant find it where the lady jennifer strange at the end of it says my head hurts and they laughed at her for drinking too much water and gave her tickets to JT tickets to go to that night and she didint end up going bcoz she died that night...

ill try and source it out for you's

Well this radio station is running a buisness, they should think into this stuff, is it not hard to think that filling your body with something and not letting it out builds up, this is all down to stupidity and lack of education.

Due to the release forms it can't be a criminal matter (or at least I'm pretty sure), but I think it can be argued in the civil courts under 'contributory negligence' and 'duty of care' (if those are what they are called in the US legal system).
