The winner was the person who didn't release their bladder the longest. + Video

  • osc1882, on 10/12/2007, -7/+510Alright fan boys, when was the last time you died for Nintendo?
    • nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -9/+416I died a little inside when I got the Virtual Boy. Does that count?
    • ButtholeSurfer, on 10/12/2007, -117/+9no.
    • bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -29/+236well, she's never going to piss again, so.. I guess she won.
    • schroduggity, on 10/12/2007, -31/+15we must have been the only two people who bought virtual boys I kinda wish I woulda kept it. someday they'll be worth alot of money.

      I thought the space ship game and the tennis game were pretty fun, albiet nausiating.
    • ozid, on 10/12/2007, -14/+31I had so many games for the Virtual Boy. But the only ones I played were Tennis and Wario.

      I played them all the time though.
    • theBrink, on 10/12/2007, -8/+110lol, nothing like killing yourself with water...next is death by oxygen...

      it's funny that a radio station didn't bother to do their homework on just how safe this contest was...
    • Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -8/+60Well at least she won a Wii... oh wait...
    • nonokiaboy, on 10/12/2007, -31/+10I died in Super Mario Bros. a few times...
    • Osiriscky3, on 10/12/2007, -17/+148Dihydrogen Oxide the silent killer.
    • shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2she must have been pretty dedicated to actually die from a voluntary action....


      i wonder if she actually won the wii?
    • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1@shrewduser

      Shooting your brains out is pretty voluntary, and it doesn't require much dedication.
    • adamsucks, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Anyone else only getting a blank article at Joystiq? Duggmirror displays the same thing...
    • TyRaNNOus, on 10/12/2007, -14/+22Thank god I'm male. I honestly don't think I would even be physically or mentally capable of doing that. The throbbing piss boner I would be sporting along with that awkwardness that would entail sitting in a room mostly full of dudes I'd have to relieve myself of all that angst at once.
    • mark_in_bc, on 10/12/2007, -13/+7No where does it say that this woman died of water intoxication. It only said she died after competing in the contest. For all anyone knows she might have had a stroke and it was coincidental that she was a participant. The news report stated that she was in pain and complaining of a headache. How do people jump to the conclusion that she died of water intoxication?
    • Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -5/+57@bitt3n

      When you die, you're body releases... everything... So, she really didn't win.
    • Supaman223, on 10/12/2007, -6/+58@ Osiriscky3

      Its Dihydrogen monoxide
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15See? Girl gamers ARE more serious!

      I'm ashamed to have owned the Virtual Boy.
    • DaneTrain, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13It's disgusting a radio station would have a contest like this, after what happened at Chico State 2 years ago with that fraternity pledge. This was huge news in that area, as Chico is only an hour and a half away.
    • fliped, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9@ Supaman223

      The "mono" part is optional
    • TNHitokiri, on 10/12/2007, -25/+15no, you both are wrong. its just hydrogen oxide. you would add the prefixes di and mono only if it was a covalent bond. But because Hydrogen has positive ions and Oxygen has negative ions, it is a ionic bond. Therefore Hydrogen Oxide.

      What did happen? Please don't dig me down, this a serious question. I don't know what you're referring to
    • durrty, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3If it was such a huge deal then surely the contestants would have known about it, yes? And if so then they would be entering the contest with full knowledge of what could potentially result. I don't want to vindicate the radio station but you can't give them all the blame, people have responsibilities too.
    • jus1haz2, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1wow ppl need to RTFA

      That sux though to die over a wii....
    • Parasocks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10So who gets the manslaughter charge?
    • Flummoxer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33@TNHitokiri

      Water IS a polar covalent bond, so it would be dihydrogen monoxide.

      Here's a source if you don't believe me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H2o
    • AnonymousFan9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"The accepted IUPAC name of water is simply "water", although there are two other systematic names which can be used to describe the molecule.

      The simplest and best systematic name of water is hydrogen oxide. This is analogous to related compounds such as hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide, and deuterium oxide (heavy water). Another systematic name, oxidane, is accepted by IUPAC as a parent name for the systematic naming of oxygen-based substituent groups,[9] although even these commonly have other recommended names."

      from wikipedia
    • maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5wow, that is really sad. how irresponsible of the radio station to hold such a contest. RIP.

    • jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I still have my virtual boy hanging in my closet. It has Red Alert (no not the RTS game you are so familar with) and Mario Tennis (came bundled I think) and both are still fun. The reason I hate digging it out and playing it happens to be the extremely uncomfortable way you have to place your head in order to see the game. When I was little I used to wear glasses and they used to fog up, this made playing the games for extended periods of time almost impossible!

      You hit some and you miss some, Gamecube and Virtual Boy are not so great. The DS and Wii are phenomenal gaming systems.

    • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5Wow! a radio station that has to fill 24 hours stoops to playing five songs three times! The HORROR!

      Chode..how about you give us YOUR e-mail so people can tell you what a ***** piece of ***** you are for your "Let's GIT 'em! mentality.

      The radio station didn't force her to drink the water. They didn't prevent her from going to the bathroom.
    • durrty, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I don't know if you listen to the radio but there are constantly contests like this going on ALL the time and have been ever since I can remember. This is HARDLY the worst contest I've heard of. I don't even understand what is so "low" about this? They have a bunch of sought after goodies they can give away and they have to come up with a way to make it entertaining to the listeners.
    • vp0ng, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4it's the same as holding onto a car for as long as possible to win it. at some point common sense has to take over and you let go.
    • appetite, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4The radio station should get sued. Otherwise, why couldn't they just have a "see how much cyanide you can withstand for a $1 million" contest? Seriously, this seems like a clear-cut liability case to me.
    • RomeyRome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sure. As long as the participants signed a waiver, and the substance is legal.
    • SydneyBristow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This was a tragedy waiting to happen. Hyponatremia is well known by runners and some professional athletes, but most people don't know that it's possible to drink too much water. It's a shame that this mother of three children died from the contest - she was just doing it for her kids.

      The threat of a potential imbalance of electrolytes from such a contest would have been pointed out by a competent doctor, had the radio station had enough sense to seek out the advice of one, before holding the contest. At the very least, there should have been sports drinks such as gatorade or salty foods to offset the chance of such an event.

      I sincerely hope the radio station gets a huge lawsuit from this, so at least her children will be financially taken care of, albeit without their mother.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the radio station is in for a wrongful death lawsuit. At any rate, kids, remember this when you have to pee pee: if you have to go, at some point you will die if you don't.
    • urbancommando, on 10/31/2007, -1/+17Actually water intoxication is drinking too much water. Not holding too long.
    • DaneTrain, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9They should absolutely be held accountable, this is ridiculous. I go to Chico State, which is about an hour and half north east of Sacramento. A kid at our school died of water intoxication 2 years ago, during fraternity hazing. It was a HUGE deal around the whole area, and made national news. There is no excuse for this radio station to hold a contest like this. They should be held criminally responsible for advocating this, the fraternity brothers who encouraged the kid at my school had to do time, and these people should as well.
    • vhold, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5@DaneTrain

      Why should the radio station have magically known better then the woman who agreed to participate in this contest? What excuse does she have for drinking all that water? They both obviously made a mistake.
    • ingxia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I agree, this is a wrongful death. Shame on Sacramento's 107.9 for not getting some medical consultation first. Fresh water is as much a poison as drinking seawater in large quantities. In the heat of the moment, as in hazing, someone may fore go common sense.
    • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0HUGE differecne between a fraternity and a radio station contest. The guys who need to pay for sex...I mean the fraternity guys...would be FAR more forceful to prevent the guy from going to the bathroom, or to stop drinking.
    • diecastbeatdown, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1did it cross anyones mind that perhaps there was a release form she signed prior to the contest?

      she could have waiting just a little longer for the next shipment then waited outside or pre-ordered like everyone else.
    • hoojoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@ urbancommando

      Technically water intoxication is caused by an imbalance in sodium and water levels in your blood plasma. Drinking too much water can be a cause but sodium deficiency can also contribute. That's the reason why athletes and such (who lose alot of sodium through sweat) drink sports drinks which contain sodium to prevent water intoxication.

      Holding it in can actually cause this imbalance too. That's what causes so many ecstacy deaths, as ecstacy is an anti-diuretic (prevents you from emptying your bladder, which can lead to water intoxication).
    • tavisjohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"she could have waiting just a little longer for the next shipment then waited outside or pre-ordered like everyone else."

      Umm some people get a thrill from winning radio station. A local radio station had a really stupid emberssing contest, and the prize? Was a cup cake!!!!!!
    • yanked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It doesn't matter whether she signed a release or not, there's still a pretty strong wrongful death suit here. And rightfully so.

      (By the way, anyone notice the comments to this story over at joystiq? Yeech.)
  • diehard2k5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Do we really need a video of this?
    • grumbel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The video is not of the event itself, its just a newscaster talking about it, not even on scene, just in the studio.
  • fooish101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well Doug Lazy doesn't seem to be effected much by the death, he's still smiling on the front page of their site
  • mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I guess this proves the fact that it doesn't matter what it is, it's poison if you have enough of it.
  • tf5bassist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5oh man... It sure is "interesting" here in Sacramento...

  • keeganzero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I use to listen to that station all the time. Yeah, the DJ's are assholes. I called in once and they told me to go ***** my mom. And all I was doing was requesting a song.
  • BrainDance, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Didn't we all learn about water intoxication during the "raves are bad ecstasy kills" part of DARE? What an obviously terrible idea, I'm surprised no ones bladder exploded either.

    More proof that radio personalities are some the lowest forms of life on earth. Of course, most of us have probably figured that out by now after listening to ridiculously stupid morning shows.
    • urbancommando, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Can a bladder explode? I'm sure at some point you involuntarily release.
    • ardenr, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2@urbanCommando - It obviously doesn't. RTFA - or even the title.

    man how low will they go...
    • coldstatue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It was a radio contest. Don't you know that there is no limit for radio personalities?
  • TyRaNNOus, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2I think we may have a new candidate for a Darwin award.
  • twinem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2site not displaying for me now??
  • DelSolMan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Did she win?
  • tralalaa, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2What an idiot.

    It's amusing how people will do this ***** to their bodies without realizing the consequences.

    Yes, she deserves a Darwin award.

    Guess you shoulda shelled out $250, you materialistic goon.
    • Chode2235, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1sad part is she more than likely already has kids (I assume for who she was trying to win it for). She has already passed on her genes and is thus ineligible for a Darwin award.
  • Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2as vaguely wii-related as this is, does it really count as gaming news?
    its simply a tragic accident - Not something i would have thought is diggworthy
    • rasice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Diggworthy doesnt mean as much these days.
  • gh0st121der, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1They should have done a game called "Hold in your Shii for a Wii."

    Then fed them several bowls of Chilli Con Carne.
  • siglesias, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Pulled a Kepler.
  • uglyowl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0When I first started work right out of college, we were having a conversation about how it is impossible to drink a gallon of milk in an hour and I mentioned I don't think anyone could drink a gallon of water in an hour.

    One guy took the challenge on and won. Thank god something didn't happen. We bet 2 donuts. I had no idea.
  • FoxtrotUSAF, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Darwin Award? I think we have a winner!
    • prockcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Except she had kids, numbnuts.. that makes her ineligible.
    • rasice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeh, this is the 3rd Darwin award joke. Hilarious.
  • coldstatue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3People really should learn a bit about what makes an audio level acceptable before posting a video on the Internet. This is the second video tonight that almost blew out my ear drums, and produced the most overdriven and distorted audio my speakers can handle.
  • Zalien, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The new slogan for the Wii:

    Its worth dying for!
  • Andrew1180, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12AM i the only person who doesn't think someone dying is hilarious?
    • appetite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3half these people are probably from the radio station's PR team trying to do some damage control. i can't believe people actually think this is funny or that the station shouldn't be held accountable.
    • wolphkaat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5No, and i think some of the trolls on here are just bitter, hate-filled people.

      "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."
      Imagine the guilt those kids will feel having asked(probably more than once) for a wii. The whole thing just sucks all the way around. I hope they sue the station out of business.
      That being said, i think that if you are considering participating in one of these or touch a car the longest contests, even if you are broke, you should seek help immediately to try to discover what happened to your dignity.
    • nsharp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Unfortunately, no
    • cybercrys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Andrew I quite agree with you, but I guess one person losing her life in a tragic accident is what passes as idle banter these days... I seriously can't believe the insensitive pricks and comedic jackasses that are getting a rise out of this woman's death... GET A LIFE U ASSHOLES!
  • Talus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11This is friggin' sad people. Some of you should really be ashamed.
  • superKduper, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Why not link to a REAL NEWS STORY in a REAL NEWSPAPER instead of a SNIPPET in someone's BLOG?

    Like this:

    http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/news/breaking_news/16455868.htm

    From the MONTEREY HERALD.

    What's wrong with you DIGGERS? Why get some blogger/splogger/adsense whore get $$$? Why not link to a REAL, GENUINE NEWS SOURCE instead? Are you all RETARDED?
