First, I had no idea that a person could die from drinking too much water too rapidly. That said, are they going to fire sponsors if a person chokes on food during a food eating contest? I don't get why these DJs were fired. Its just an unfortunate turn of events. No one forced this woman or any contestant to participate.

Opie & Anthony were laughing it up about it this morning...I guess two of the dj's whose names were Carter & Fester (O&A had a field day about these two) apparently didn't even work the morning show...They were the afternoon guys who just came in to see the contest.

I feel bad about the girl dying...It is tragic.. But the comments they were making about these two guys were hilarious!! Most of them will probably be posted on their site later today.

Yep. It causes an osmotic imbalance in your cells. The water will try to go where there is less of it (ie your cells) and they can explode. The opposite can happen if you drink too much gatorade...the cells will shrivel.

That's why marathon runners should rotate their drinks during the race.
 
Am I the only one who doesn't feel sorry for this woman? I mean come on, use a little common sense here. You're an adult. You should know when you feel full. I guarantee she felt full but continued to drink just to win a damn video game??? What the hell??? People just don't drink water until they die! This takes a massive amount of stupidity!

Her kids have no mother now. Way to go!

Now I KNow
 
I don't feel sorry for her and i don't feel sorry for the ones getting prosecuted.

There was a complete lack of common sense all the way around. Everyone got what they deserved. Am i being hard about this ... perhaps.

But when you do stupid human tricks for stupid human toys, you get stupid human results.
