I've done a gallon+ in under an hour perfectly fine.
You sure it was a gallon? An American gallon is less than a British gallon IIRC.

From what I heard she did about .5 of a gallon in the time given. Thats not very much, she went to far its her fault and no one elses ... Radio station shouldn't get sued, she got unlucky and thats the plain simple truth of it.
The radio station should have had more sense. Water intoxication does kill, as we've proved. In any case, American compensation culture means you could sue for the radio station having the water from the tap rather from the supermarket, sue them for losing the competition, sue them for not having doctors on standby, sue them for you not being able to cope physically...
The Wii is cheap, and it's not too long before Nintendo sort out the supply shortages anyway, even within the coming weeks. The competition was irresponsible, dangerous, and pathetic. Hell, one could argue you could sue Nintendo for giving the thing such a stupid name, leading to such a stupid competition and thus a stupid, unnecessary death of a mother.

If I was the president of that radio station and you tried to sue me i'd refuse to pay.
That's just you being an arsebandit, as usual. You'd pay up if the courts ruled against you. And, if you decided not to, you'd be off to jail, released, and ordered again to pay up.

In fact before i'd pay i'd go to jail. Simply because its a frivlous law suit. SHE DIED OF DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER. I mean come on, how common is that?
Not that common, but then again neither is smallpox. It's deadly as well.
