A Californian woman has died after taking part in a water-drinking contest.
Jennifer Strange had taken part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" game, which promised the winner a Nintendo Wii.
Afterwards she reportedly said her head was hurting and went home, where she was later found dead.
Initial tests have shown her death is consistent with water intoxication.
So, what would you do for a Wii?
Would you poo for a PS2?
If the name had stayed as the Revolution would there have been fatalities from dizzy people falling over trying to 'Spin To Win' or such like?
Or is your idea of cutting edge interactive entertainment a sudoku?
The first nominee for 2007, perhaps?

Luckily it's mostly wireless, so she might not have garotted herself.

It's just as well she didn't win one. If she managed to kill herself drinking water can you imagine the carnage if she'd got hold of a Wii?

Bear in mind that the jobs we are talking about here are things like D.J.'s and radio executives so no real harm done. Oh, apart from the dopey bint who drunk over 6 gallons of water to try and get for free a games console that is retailing for about the same as some hand held units.

What a surprise. She volunteers for a competition, behaves recklessly, pays the consequences, and 10 people lose their jobs.
Political correctness gone mad.
Let me ask you this; would so many people have been fired if she was a man?

On the Today programme, errm, today it said that she had drunk 50 pints of water! How come she didn't just explode? Also they've sacked 10 people at the radio station that ran the contest.
