The ice water challenge is stupid. YOu get challenged to do it, but if you don't then you donate $100. Well all these videos show people doing it, so I guess no one is donating money?
It's a nice pr move by them guys, but more people are doing it to be "hip" than to raise awareness. And only 5,600 people are diagnosed w/ ALS a year. Its not like it is an endemic, just a rare disease.
Does anyone else think this is just a publicity stunt more than anything else?

Its a waste of good clean drinking water. At least use piss if you are going to douse yourself with a bucket of liquid.

of course it's a publicity stunt. it gets ALS talked about and then donated to. a lot of people have donated despite doing the challenge.

I believe am official als spokesperson came out and said donations are up 500 percent since this went viral. There is literally zero downside to this. The joke is this thread.

I thought you just "had" to donate only $10 if you do it.
Either way, I dont like being pressured or forced to donate to a charity not of my choosing

I like what Charlie Sheen did. he dumped 10,000 dollars in Cash on his head which he is donating to ALS. he then called out Ashton Kutcher and some others to do the same.

ALS is more prevalent than you think. Two weeks ago my gf's uncle died from ALS. Completely debilitates the person. Honestly if a disease was the way I was going out I'd take cancer or aids before ALS.

It is 100% a "look at me" thing by the people doing it but at the same time if it's raising money and awareness it's hard to think it's a bad thing.
We need to figure out more positive ways to capitalize on the ego-centric culture in which we live.
