School Me, Ice Bucket Challenge

[HN]

One of the founders of the ice bucket challenge drowned this past weekend:

Griffin accidentally drowned after diving from a building located on Straight Wharf into the water off the coast of Nantucket, Mass. around 2 a.m.

Fill bucket with ice
Then fill with water
Wait 10 minutes and pour the contents over yourself
.

Brag online about how awesome you are and nominate some other suckers who are stupid enough to try this

This guy's video will respond to this better than I can

Just heard about this and Im also clueless... At first I thought this was a troll started to parody the stupid "Fire Challenge" so many idiots have been doing lately

So this raises awareness... Ok, but how? What the hell does dropping a bucket of cold water in your head have to do with ALS? Why not make it the "Butterfinger Challenge" and insert a finger into your ass? Seems equally stupid to me

I just cant follow these social media trends at all, I dont get any of it

You may want to look into it and realize how much more donations the ALS charity has gotten since this campaign started.

However; ignorance seems bliss here on AT.

I didn't waste water pouring it on myself. I just donated $100.

I want someone to dump a bucket filled with diamonds over their head. Now that's a real ice bucket challenge.

“There’s not a lot of water left people if you really look at it,” Burr added. “The only fresh water we got left that’s coming is from the polar ice caps melting.”

Is the idea of raising awareness and money that hard for you to get? Really?

When you see people doing a cancer walk do you scowl and say "HOW IS THIS GONNA CURE CANCER IDIOTS! "

A lot of the videos I've watched have don't any ice in the bucket, just cold water.

I don't see any challenge here, anyone can do this willingly.
Next year they should change it to Eating Balut Challenge :biggrin:

U posted drunk or something worse.

Just pick a charity and donate or STFU (and if you can't donate, figure it out...you have internet and a lot of free tools to raise you up).
