Ice water challenge
- Thread starter hondarider552

I gotta disagree. Maybe that's how it started, but I see more and more people on my feed that aren't that type doing it.
I think its kind of dumb, and I'm sure not everyone that does it donates something. But the way I see it, Publicity is publicity and it seems to be working for the intended cause.
That's awesome! I ain't dumping water on my head but I did donate.
I think the most extreme one was hockey player Paul Bisonnette.

Wonder what it cost to do that ? Should have donated the money to ALS and others. Bet it wasn't cheap nor done on the first go around.
You guys with negative comments are unbelievable. You'd probably bitch if someone gave you a dollar. Some people must just like to piss n moan about anything, I swear.
I think its great.
Mackin, how do you know he didn't don't an obscene amount of money after having glacier water dumped on himself?

I don't know he just might have. IMO I don't believe the premiss of the Ice Bucket Challenge was to see how "creative" you can get to dump Ice Water on your head. BUT I will say as long as ,again my O , individuals are doing it for the right reason(s), ALS, that is honorable.
Problem is I think I'm seeing people do it as a game a fad instead the ORIGINAL intent! At any given time someone can dump a water and ice bucket on the head why NOW if not to raise money for research?
BTW I have donated but I didn't do the Ice bucket!
Well until you do the ice water you shouldn't be so opinionated over the people that actually did do it.
Why do you care if someone is dumb enough to hurt themselves doing it? Natural selection can't work fast enough.
Regardless of what the party poopers think, its better than the neknominations, or lighting yourself on fire, or basically anything else on facebook. Most don't donate, but the point is to raise awareness, which it has done. They have made millions in the same amount of time as it took them to barely hit 5 digits last year.
If you don't like it, don't watch it. Beauty of the internet that many seem to forget about.:hug:
I do agree that some celebs are doing retarded ones. Charlie Sheens was "winning" though.
Would anybody else donate $100 to watch Charlie Sheen beat Justin Bieber with a bucket instead? I know I would.
I don't care that they per say are dumping ice buckets or what ever on their melons . Believe me I don't go looking for it it seems to find me. IMO I don't believe the majority doing the challenge even know what ALS is so to say they are raising awareness ,awareness to what I'd like to ask them?
So it's up to us to do the good of what the Ice Bucket Challenge represents! :thumb:
With your comment on Celebs I believe you know what I'm saying! Yes I would pay $100 bucks to watch anyone beat Beiber with a Ice Bucket a empty bucket for the matter!
Yeup, because shattering donation records by 20 fold for a given time period (currently at $42 mil and counting) for research of such a deviating disease that most companies to not seem currently worth the investment sure seems like a dumb idea.
The fact of the matter is that treating it like a "game" DOES raise awareness about a disease that otherwise most would feel to uncomfortable to talk about.
I can guarantee you that the number of people that now actually know what this disease is beyond it's name has increased exponentially since this challenge has started. Hey, you're talking about it.
Piss and moan all you want, but I'll just be glad all this "hype" is actually for a good cause.

Hit the nail on the head. We talk about so much dumb shit and for once it's a good cause. I say dump away.
