			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The whole &#8220;Hold your wee to win a Nintendo Wii&#8221; promotion took an ugly turn in Sacramento, California recently. Even though a radio station and its disc jockeys demonstrated a lot of awareness that the water-drinking competition could lead to death by water intoxication, they did nothing to hold videogame-crazed fans from overdoing it to win a $250 videogame console.</p>
<p>The radio station knew the risks, doing so far as to compel contestants to sign a standard &#8220;hold harmless&#8221; waiver before competing. But despite all that, one woman died in her attempt to win the Wii, even going so far as to be interviewed on the radio, complaining of a bloated stomach that made her look like she &#8220;was pregnant&#8221; and headache&#8230; both danger signs of water intoxication.</p>
<p>Radio host Sean Hannity helped bring the story to a national spotlight and now comes the news that <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/01/25/D8MSL11O0.html">the woman&#8217;s family is going to sue the radio station</a> for gross negligence in her death, despite the &#8220;hold harmless&#8221; agreement.</p>
<p>I say, go get &#8216;em! If it had been <a href="http://www.redbulletspeed.com">Red Bull</a> instead of water, I doubt the station would have let contestants go to such unhealthy, potentially deadly extremes. Hiding negligence behind a &#8220;hold harmless&#8221; agreement is the epitome of premeditation.</p>
