No one forced her to drink the water. Some adults want to blame everyone else for their actions. The radio station had a majority of the responsibility for this, but Jennifer was not innocent. $16M is far too much money, but par for the course in our sue happy society.

Personal responsibility? I know MANY people that still do not know you can die from drinking too much water. They never informed these contestants of the specific risks to doing this. The Radio Station laughed off warnings during the contest and THEY DID KNOW you could die from doing this. I had no idea what water intoxication was until this happend either so, I might have did the stupid contest too. Bottom line, you seem to know little about the facts of the case. Jennifer did nothing wrong. She never thought that a silly contest would or COULD kill her – NO ONE DID. Personal responsibility my A$S.

$16 million?? Where is the personal responsibility? Jennifer Strange was an adult. Adults are responsible for their actions or at least they once were.

Wait… the jury decided that the defendants were NOT negligent, but still ordered them to pay over $16,000,000??? Seriously?
