Family of "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" Victim Awarded $16m
Remember back to January of 2007, when the Wii had just come out, and was the hottest thing on the market; no one could get one.
Unfortunately for one Jennifer Strange, a couple of Sacramento radio hosts for the program “Morning Wave” had gained possession of one of the coveted consoles, and decided to hold a contest for listeners to claim the prize. The contest, dubbed “Hold Your Wee for a Wii,” had contestants see how much water they could drink before using the toilet.
Strange attempted to win the effort for her three children, but lost her life due to water intoxication in the process. And though no charges were filed against the radio station, the case still went to court and was settled this week.
