Wii Competition Turns Deadly
January 15, 2007 | 4 Comments
KDND 107.9 The END was holding a contest called “Hold Your Wee for a Wii”. Basically participants had to drink a bunch of water, hold it, and whoever held out longest won a Nintendo Wii. The contest took a negative turn for 28 year old Jennifer Strange who was competing in the contest. She left work early on Friday, later she died of water intoxication. Sadly, she was doing this for her three children… I love my Wii, but it certainly is not worth dying for.
The radio station has posted this notice on their site:
All of you are probably aware of the tragic death of a contestant, Jennifer Strange, following her participation in a contest on the Morning Rave last Friday.
First and foremost, our thoughts and sympathies go out to Jennifer’s family and loved ones.
I also want to assure you that the circumstances regarding this matter are being examined as thoroughly as possible. We are doing everything we can to deal with this difficult situation in a manner that is both respectful and responsible. In the interim, the Morning Rave is off the air indefinitely.
Thank you.

God Declares War on Boy Scouts
July 29, 2005 | 3 Comments
The angry God has returned. On Tuesday, July 26th, four scout leaders were killed in an electrical accident while putting up a tent. Most thought this was a tragic accident. Proof to the contrary came today when lightning struck another group killing another leader and leaving a 13-year old boy braindead.
These strikes are either acts of war or terrorism on the part of God. Following President Bush’s stance of postponing his speech to the scouts, I believe he has aligned himself with God. Surely God must not be a terrorist if Bush has sided with Him. Therefore war is the only explanation.
Karel from Advocate.com published a similar article, here’s an excerpt:
First came the tragic death of four scout leaders, setting up a dining tent. By all accounts, it was biblical carnage at its best. Scouts watched as a metal pole at the center of the large, white tent touched power lines, electrocuting four adult leaders and injuring others. According to accounts published in the July 29 Guardian Unlimited, “Screams rang out as the tent caught fire and the men burned.�
That’s downright Old Testament.
I suggested that more strikes may be on the way, and boy scouts better be on the lookout. When asked for comment on the subject friend Jenny Sweedler said: “The weekend is a great time for God to do some killing.”
God was unavailable for comment. Updates will follow as info about further attacks comes in.
