Ice Bucket Challenge!

yeah cause the ice bucket challenge isnt getting enough attention compared to stuff like the unrests in ferguson.

quoting for the same feeling I had 2 days ago.

Boo *** hoo. Say hello to your DWP fine of $500 if your in my neighborhood.

You don't care about wasting clean water, well i don't care about you receiving a citation or fine because i snitched you out.

If you really wanted to being awareness to ALS, just run commercials like those ones about the kids in Africa they used to show.

Yep, because Sarah McLachlan was able to raise 63 million dollars in under a month.

I thought she did the PETA commercials?

Edit: The should take a page from Elton John. He raises several million in just one night for his post Oscar's party every year.

Nah, hers were for the ASPCA. I think the ones in Africa had some chubby hairy dude that wasn't Rob Reiner.

Boom. Alan Sader.

I live in CA, USA, so I do agree it is far more pragmatic to use something that is re-usable, so as to be conscientious--but at the same time maybe create more of a challenge as well, so that paying out to the charity is more likely. Maybe #ricebucketchallenge might work. :p

Or for something more exotic, #micebucketchallenge or even #licebucketchallenge...I bet there would be a lot less people keen on opting out of the charity payment for those two fund-raisers. :p

Get your granny panties out of a knot. I don't want to live in that shithole.

What about #slicebucketchallenge?


It says it has no caffeine. That's pretty legit.

Clearly twitter's fault.

CA isn't the only state with a drought.

The ice bucket challenge can be silly. There are people doing it, because they want to be trendy, not because they care about ALS. They aren't donating, but it spreads awareness. There are a lot of people who aren't aware of ALS, and for people dealing with ALS, it makes them feel like a weight is lifted off their shoulders, just spreading awareness is something they are SO grateful about, it's making a difference, slowly.

It's not easy knowing you're going to die, knowing there's nothing that can save you, having a time limit over your head. It's depressing, it makes you feel worthless, like you weren't meant to be here in the first place and now you're just being killed off. There's no cure, it's so rare that people aren't willing to invest the millions of dollars it takes to find and make that cure. Those people can feel themselves slowly dying, and there are people still finding reasons to live, and these challenges are giving them more and more hope. It may seem silly, but it impacts these people's spirits so much. This silly notion is giving people hope, it's making the miserable a little less depressed, it makes the weight of knowing you're going to die a little less heavy.

Whoever disagrees with me can give me as much hell as they want. I firmly stand in what I've said.

A little NSFW, but this is the negative side of the icebucket challenge. More about trying to get youtubefamous, than giving a ***about ALS, the video in the spoiler is the guy talking about it (and other things).
The icebucket is @ 1:20 (and called, massive tiddays icebucket)
