“Hold your wee for a Wii” gets $16m awarded by court
Remember the infamous stunt a radio station pulled off a few years ago, when the Wii was in shortage? The KDND-FM radio station offered the winner of the “Hold your wee for a Wii” contest a Wii console, all the contestant had to do was to hold their wee, or urine. Sounds easy, right? Well, no.
Contestant Jennifer Strange died of water intoxication, and her family sued the parent company of the radio station, Entercom Sacramento LLC. Today, the court ruled in favor of the family, awarding them $16.5 million in damages.

What a sad way to go and especially for a poxy Wii. The trouble with the people of this world is that we long for materialistic things. We rely on uneccessities as we like to live a life of luxury.
