It’s the first day back from the glitz and glamor of CES and what do we have to report? Well, it looks like a woman died in a radio contest trying to win a Nintendo Wii. The contest, called “Hold you wee for a Nintendo Wii,” had contestants drink large amounts of water without being able to use the bathroom. Early reports suggest that the woman died of water intoxication. The contest was part of the Kidd Chris show the “Morning Rave,” which seems to have just won the prize for Dumbest Radio Contest Ever. (The previous record holder was Opie & Anthony’s “Sex for Sam 3,” or “Son of Sam 3” as some people mistakingly call it.) Kinda makes this t-shirt a little less funny now.
