[Mr. Colby]

the ice bucket challenge is among the stupidest things I've ever heard of. I can guarantee more than half the people that do it don't even know what 'ALS' stands for. They care more about being part of a social phenomenon than helping people.

Yea but it's creating awareness so that's something.

I'd be willing to bet around 50% or so of the people doing the challenge have no idea what ALS is nor did they donate any sort of money to an ALS charity. They saw people pouring ice water on their heads, saw how many likes they were getting and got in on the act.

Does that matter though? The entire point is to raise awareness and donations among the people that AREN'T just being popular on social media. The guy who created it surely knew going in that many, even a majority, would treat it like a gimmick. But it has been a huge success at raising funds and awareness, so focus on the good not the bad

The people who focus on the good should do it in the winter. After all, the point of the ice is that people with ALS sometimes have trouble discriminating hot and cold in their body temps. Do it after the New Year if you really want to be part of something good instead of a FB hero.

[Mr. Colby]

I can't wrap my head around the complaining. I personally made a donation to the cause, and I can tell you without hesitation I wouldn't have even thought of doing so if not for this "movement" and there are plenty of people in the same situation as me, given the huge increase in ALS donations the past few weeks.

I really don't see any negative to any of this. People just like to complain

Sounds good. Tell Pete Frates hes an idiot for starting it when he did. That 1000% spike in ALS donations is pointless. Bunch of Facebook heroes

Colby, the spike in donations is great, but if you think the same 1000% of those donations is going to go to the areas for which the contributors intended, then may God have mercy on your soul.

This is a completely separate topic that I am fully aware of - I don't know the numbers for ALS but there are some foundations out there that a mere 10% of donations go to research.

All I am saying is the #icebucketchallenge accomplished its goal of increasing awareness and donations for ALS and there's nothing any of us can say to change that fact, whether people want to complain about the ice dumping videos or not.

[Mr. Colby]

Ergo it isn't "the stupidest thing you've ever seen"

[Grunthy]

complain just to complain. Our society today...

I'm not really negative about it, just not getting all giddy about it either. Like the great Jordan Sullivan said on Scrubs... "I don't dislike you. I nothing you."

ALS is probably the worst thing ever.

The ice videos made me think the movement is stupid, it didnt even occur to me to donate to the cause.

It's not the people are donating, it's the smugness of a lot of them that bothers me. I've had multiple people ask me why I haven't done it yet.

What on earth is that from?

The best was the Penguins account tweeting the videos almost non stop. The other day they posted a link and said "Afraid you missed one of the Ice Bucket Challenge videos?? Heres all of them..."

Uh, no. I am most assuredly not afraid I missed any of your obnoxious video posts.
