Dec 16 2007 - 7:15am

Remember back in January when Jennifer Strange died after entering a contest where she held her pee for a Wii [1]? Or what about Danny Williams, who unfortunately had his iPod go up in flames—inside his pants [2]?! Then there was the horrific story about the couple in Reno, Nevada who spent so much time playing Dungeons and Dragons, that they neglected their two children [3] to the point of severe malnourishment. Last but not least, U.S soldier Kevin Garrad was on a street patrol in Iraq when he was hit with a bullet in the left chest. . .The exact spot where his iPod was sitting inside his jacket pocket. His iPod ended up slowing the bullet down enough that it did not completely penetrate his body armor [4], which inevitably saved his life. Now it's time for your feedback. What news story did you feel was the most shocking in '07?
