Quick Update: 'Wii' Family Now Suing Radio Station

The radio station where the infamous "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest took place (KDND-FM) is now facing a lawsuit from the victim's family. This comes just two days after 10 station employees were fired, so fired for their involvement in the woman's death. The lawsuit appears to hinge on the fact that the on-air personalities knew of the dangers of drinking so much water in such a short period of time. It looks like the majority of you would agree with this latest development.

that people resort to stunts like this to get a game console. I just camped out last night to get a Wii and was first in line when they handed out the numbers in the morning. She could have gone late to work and waited in line for one instead of taking such a risk, but the radio personalities were warned,even pleaded with, by listeners on the air not to do this because it was dangerous, and they did not even do any resaearch to check whether the listeners concerns had any sort of foundation. They figured "Oh, it's only water, so it's harmless" and let the drinking contest go ahead. If this had been an alcohol drinking contest, they would have taken precautions.

this is what i hate from people, someone died and then they go make abuse of it so they can make some money :S

And anyone involved in the idea should be put in jail. It was obvious from the start there would be someone who wouldn't give up. Desparatly wanting a WII prepared to put their life on the line.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
