Are all news stories from the UK written like that? It seems like there are a lot of errors and things that seem really different as far as writing style goes from in the US. Maybe it's just the difference in the language usage, but it all seemed so fragmented and poorly constructed. Maybe I'm just weird though... Image file not present in the recovered backup

Yeah, that article was a lot more coherent. The BBC just really sucks. Sucks to be her though. The radio station had to realize that there were serious health risks when holding a competition like that. It's pretty obvious that there's a lot of shit that can go wrong when doing something like that. And she didn't even win it? Man, I guess the number of people killed by gaming systems has climbed again.
360 - 2
PS3 - 5
Wii - 1 that I know of. Wii needs to get on the ball, they're falling behind.

It's American competition. We also invented arm wrestling and "See Who Can Punch Harder"

Bet the winner is happy, they're now the proud owner of a console that someone died for.

There was some chick here that did it a couple of years ago in a club. Turned out she'd popped an E for the first time, knew that she had to keep hydrated but basically got scared and necked too much, ended up collapsing.

yeah. doesn't say how much she actually consumed though. but it is pretty well known that too much water will make you ill.

When someone says "Jenny, stop, the other guy's already won the games console, and you have water seeping out your ears!" I'm guessing its ideal to back off.

How ironic, I just had to drink a ridiculous amount of water just a few hours ago to pass a hydration test (test your piss).

That's rubbish you gotta drink about 5 litres a day sometimes when you're doing loads of exercise.

Saw this on the news last night, it made me 'lol' so to speak. If I was in her family I'd be trying to sue someone for it...not that it's really anyone elses fault, I'd just want the money.
