Irresponsibility At Its Worst

This is a follow up post to the Jennifer Strange story. Mrs. Strange died of water intoxication from participating in a radio contest, "Hold your wee for a Wii." Attorney Roger Dreyer is planning on suing KDND radio station and the disc jockeys who were working during the competition. That's not really very surprising, nor is the fact that all disk jockeys who were working during the competition have been fired. However, the audio of the radio hosts talking about the contest as well as interviewing Mrs. Strange has surfaced on the internet. It's disturbing, especially in lieu of what the outcome was. The disk jockeys flippantly joke about contestants dying, and never realistically take serious the possibility that contestants could be in danger.
