Your body is 98% percent water, why can't you take in as much water as you want?

-- Here is an audio excerpt from KDND's Morning Rave show last Friday of Jennifer Strange and the host of the show talking about the "Hold your Wee for Wii" contest which resulted in her death. Here is a rough transcript of the segment, now keep in mind I said previously that Strange was responsible for her own actions but after listening to these DJ's I wouldn't trust my life at all with any of those fuckin' idiots:
Guy Host 1: Fester, how much water do you think you'll have to drink before you have to Wee.

Fester: 2 Gallons.

Guy Host 1: 2 gallons of water! Ah dude!

Girl Host: Can't you get water poisoning.

Guy Host 1: Your bodies 98% percent water why can't you take in as much water as you want.

Girl: I don't know.

Guy #2: What about that poor kid who was in college?

Guy #1: I know, but he was doing other things.

Girl: I know, that's what I was thinking, maybe we should have researched this before.

Guy #2: We never do this before I start doing something, next thing you know I break out in hives and I'm in an ambulance.

Guy #1: If it gets dangerous for someone there body will automaticly throuw it up, and if someone throws up there out of the contest. Eva (on radio) Eva, what do you want to say.

Eva: I want to say those people drinking all the water can get sick and possibly die of water intoxication.

Guy #1: Yea, we're aware of that.

Guy #2: They signed releases, so we're not responsible, it's okay.

(laughting)
Guy #1: If they get to the point they have to throw up, then they're going to throw up and they're out of the contest before they die, so that's good, right?

Girl: Ah, that's mean.

...

Guy 1: Hey Carter, is anyone dying yet?

Carter: We got a guy just about to die.

(laughing)

Guy 1: I'm glad we laugh at that.

Guy 2/Girl: Make sure you get the insurance. Sign the release get a stretcher.
