As a park service ranger talked about the Liberty Bell, Camilla reached out and touched it, running her finger along the bell's storied crack.
Camilla wore a periwinkle dress and a brown tweed overcoat and a broach, along with pearls and pearl drop earrings. Prince Charles sported a navy suit with a red, blue and gold striped tie, and a dark overcoat.
Like I CARE what the wankers were wearing!
It's a sad state of things when things like this happen
A radio station in Sacramento California created a contest called "Hold your wee for a Wii" in which a woman died from, of all things, water intoxication.
A woman called the station during the contest and commented that "those people could become very sick or even die" the caller, who claimed to be a nurse, offered this useful information to the station's on-air personality. The station employee anounced over the air that "it's ok, because we had everyone sign a waiver so we are not liable."
There are so many things wrong with this and on so many levels.
Employers hire inexperienced and unseasoned employees to run promotional campians and generally hold positions of responsibility throughout the organization.
20 something gen-X'ers claim they can do anything (fake it till you make it, right) then when things go wrong [we] society points the finger at someone else (there is NO such thing as Personal Responsibility).
It's the drugs fault, the drugs made me do it.
It's just the ravings of a drunken madman. (tell us Mr. Gibson)
It's ok, they signed a waiver.
The sun was in my eyes.
My dog ate my homework.
Well I hope they all rot in jail, yes real JAIL time to have these people think about what they have done!
A wrongful death lawsuit was expected in the death of Jennifer Strange, a mother of three who died hours after a water-drinking contest at an Entercom radio station, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Strange's death made national news. She died a week ago in her home; earlier she had participated in a "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest, "drinking what one contestant said was nearly two gallons of water in the kitchen of the station's Madison Avenue office," the paper reported.
Reuters reported that the coroner's office called the death consistent with water intoxication.
The contest at KDND(FM) was to drink the most water without going to the bathroom; the prize was a Nintendo Wii video game system.
Reuters reported that the station has fired 10 staff members. "They are no longer with the company for violating the terms of their employment agreements with the station," it quoted a spokesman. Also according to Reuters, an online audio recording of the show reveals the DJs making comments joking about people dying from water intoxication. Entercom Sacramento VP/GM John Geary posted a notice on the station Web site informing visitors that the Morning Rave show had been canceled. "I also want to assure you that the circumstances regarding this matter are being examined as thoroughly as possible," he wrote, expressing sympathies for Strange's family.
A fellow contestant told AP, "I was talking to her and she was a nice lady. She was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for her kids."
Christina Aguilera told Ellen DeGeneres she has Naked Sunday. I don't know anything about Christina Aguilera, her music style or anything, but I do know this works for her.
This Naked Sunday thing may not work for the "corn feed midwestern housewife with 3 kids and a c-section scar" but it sure works for Christina.
