you did something stupid

Correction: SHE did something stupid. No one forced her to drink the water. By your logic, if your local radio station says "The first one to jump off the Golden Gate bridge gets an X-Box" would you do it?

So, are you saying that holding a contest to see who can withhold urine the longest isn't stupid? If that station holds a contest to win an Xbox if they jump off the Golden Gate bridge then he would be partly responsible for that person's death just as he is in this case.

I wouldn't jump off the Golden Gate for an Xbox but if you ask enough people someone will.

If you sponsor a stupid contest you should be smart enough to know that there are people out there who WILL do something stupid.

No, but sadly enough they would be sued into the ground by the family members of the moron that did.

And that station would get its ass sued off, because there are people dumb, poor or desperate enough to try it, and such a station would be callously reckless for taking advantage of them. There are obvious potential health problems from binge eating or drinking something, and if the station failed to keep proper safeguards to protect the people it lured in with offer of a prize, then they fully deserve the raking at the coals they're about to get.

I agree that this woman did something stupid, blu. But the station was stupid also. Dumb, dumb, dumb all around.

More than dumb though. It's sad.

Pardon me for asking, but what is a wii? Must have been something worth having for someone to do this.
