This can't look too great on the radio station:

They fired everyone and now the police are listening to the tapes again and are thinking about charges. I heard part of a clip where they said they know it could be dangerous and kill someone. They may be liable.

They damn well should be liable, damn jackasses.

So how many bottles did she drink? How many "eight-ounce bottles" and how many "larger bottles?" How did they determine a winner? Did she win? I assumed that if she won, she pissed right away.

Does anyone else find this a bit funny?

I think I heard she drank 2 gallons

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I believe she drank about 8L

Definitely Gross Negligence, the DJ's are heard on air confirming they know the dangers but at least 2 of the contestants say they were never told about the dangers.....then to top it off the girl says on air she is not feeling well and has a headache and they just let her go fully aware that she is starting to show signs of intoxication sickness....

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.WB Yeats

One of the other contestents said:

"I was talking to her and she was a nice lady,” Ybarra said. “She was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for kids.”

What ever happened to personal responsibility. The DJ's did say there was a danger and if the contestants choose to continue that's on them. We are too letigious of a society.

AKIRA

Thats basically my set of mind. Of course, did she sign a waiver? If she didnt, then they might have a problem.

This reminds me of blaming video games for kids doing crazy things.

No doubt but this is a completely different animal then your usual whiplash case.

Yes, a waiver was signed but the responsibility lies with the event host not the contestant. Think about it. Would you ever see a radio station host an event like this with tequila? Of course not. The reason why is very evident.

These people totally underestimated water intoxication and they'll pay dearly for it. Waiver or not.

You liberal bastard

Oh dear god that did sound liberal...

I must now poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick.

Was the woman fucking stupid? I don't think she could have shoved 8L down her throat without consiously doing so. There must have been extreme discomfort after even the first few litres. Not to mention having to hold her piss in for ages.

No Milk, no.
Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.

It was an IQ test.

Lawl, and she failed.






I'm an ass. It said that she was doing it for her kids. I guess she really wanted to get that Wii. The tragic part is she was putting herself through the pain for her kids who will now grow up with no mother.

I still feel that it is her responsibility. That is a sad sad story.

Dale Mabry

But the could have had a wii.

Seriously, if you want your kids to have a wii, save up like a normal person and buy one, don't do something retarded.

If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Look AmericanTwit the DJ's said they knew of the dangers but when they interviewed the woman after she bailed she was recorded on radio saying she didn't feel well and had a headache. Now anyone aware of the dangers would know that thats a sign of water intox and wouldn't have let her leave, they would have had the emergency staff (who they failed to procure for the event)attend to her. She said someone told her that it was her brain telling her to puke and once she did she would be alright and one of the Dj's snidely remarked "Who told you that one of the interns?"

Then they just let her walk off to her vehicle which in her state was like letting a drunk get in his car and drive off, she could have passed out at the wheel and killed more people. Which is another case for gross negligence....

No, it's not. Drowning involves liquid being in the lungs. She died because, essentially, she washed her organs clean. She cleaned out all (or at least, most of) of her electrolytes.
