Good wii, bad wii


First, the good -- a blogger experiments with the Wii gaming system as a catalyst to lose weight. He drops 9 pounds in two weeks.

Second, the bad -- a wife and mother who dies while competing in a radio station contest "Hold your wee for a wii" in Sacramento. Listen to the audio here.

It's sad to hear the DJs dismiss obvious warnings that things could go bad.

As a old school DJ myself, I feel for the woman's family. I've pushed the limits of good taste with contests like this, and I regret it. Although I don't think I ever put anyone close to death.
