• Consumerism May Be A Mild Problem

    wii Does this seem like a fair trade to you? coffin

    A woman died today because of her participation in a contest for a Wii game system. I think it’s safe to say that consumerism has officially become a problem. See the news article here.

    I heard parts of the the onair contest. A nurse called in right before hand, told warned them about water toxication. The DJ’s laughed at her and said that the contestants signed releases, so they couldn’t be responsible if someone died. It fired me up, actually listening to it, because the contestant kept complaining about intense headache, and they kept pushing her to drink more. Some people are such idiots. I feel so bad for her family and kids!

    Is this really an issue of consumerism, or is it one of dj’s not doing the proper research on a dangerous contest…and then ignoring phone calls from a nurse that called in?
