VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

My guess would be that pre-recorded hosts don't hold contests like this.

Saw this on MSNBC.com this morning. Tragic.

this is a tragic story, but what gets me is that no one (contestants and the radio personnel) had ever heard of water intoxication?

Let alone not asking for the input of a medical professional prior to this?

Maybe it's just because of my background and education, but the rampant stupidity involved in a stunt like this just defies belief.

Read about this the other day.

My dad was a doctor and his response to all the medical 'scares' - too much of this, that or other other thing will kill you - was to say you can die from drinking too much water. Guess this just proves his point.

Yep, Hyponatremic shock.It's an awful way to go. Your blood gets "diluted" from all the water before your kidneys get a chance to filter it out and excrete it. Can cause some real damage, as the brain/heart, etc. are wallowing in hypotonic blood, and actually absorb H20 trying to equilibrate the sodium concentration, causing massive edema in all those organs. That's why she was complaining of a headache. A seemingly harmless stunt with tragic consequences.

That being said, have a great day, everyone.

I can't believe the station managers allowed this idea to fly. Simply amazing.. and sad. I'd like to hear what those DJs would have to say to her 3 kids.

I hope they never find a job in voice-talking (or in radio again). And they think it's all about ratings....

Holy -_____________ (you fill in the blank), they actually knew of the dangers, and still did the "stunt"????
