This ice thing is basically the Harlem Shake. I had no idea what it was for a while, then thought, "I can't believe something so ordinary became an Internet sensation". Good for the charity though , I guess

Over $5 million since it started and almost $2 million alone yesterday, I'd say it's been good.

Where are you getting these numbers?

so...where did DelPen get those numbers from? Because they sure as hell aren't on any of those pages...

All I can find is "The ALS Association, the nation’s largest ALS charity, says it’s raised $1.35 million in the past two weeks" which is hardly "$2 million alone yesterday".

[MRandall25]

I believe your number is referring to just 1 organization. Perhaps DelPen's is referring to multiple?

I dunno. I just don't really see why the exact number matters. It's more than they normally get.

Of all the things I've seen regarding this, only one screen grab of someone's donation checkout page has made it through my facebook. That's what people should be posting, not some asinine video.

Awareness is nearly as good as a donation IMO. If the head of the ALS foundation likes it, then so do I

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Takes U.S. by Storm

Between July 29 and today, August 12, The ALS Association and its 38 chapters have received an astonishing $4 million in donations compared to $1.12 million during the same time period last year.

Awareness is a pathway to donation. Donations are much better.

[Idoit40fans]

Awareness is pointless if it doesn't lead to donation. Its the donations that matter...or rather the research I guess.

But it is leading to donations.

I hate people that do things.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

I'm going to do it and challenge Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha to cure the disease.

Seeing people now take a bowl of water with a couple ice cubes in it and dump it on their head in their showers is annoying.

Its ice bucket, not cool water bowl.

I think posting proof that you donated is lame as all hell. If you donate, do it for the right reasons, not so you can post a screenshot of a receipt so you can show off to everyone how selfless and generous you are

If everyone was donating for the right reasons then there wouldn't be this surge in donations

This one girl is horrible on Facebook yet i can't stop myself from following.

Afternoon of 8/15:

I'm definitely at the lowest part of my life right now. Feeling like complete **** all around. Just thanking God that I have a healthy beautiful daughter & a job.

Evening of 8/16:

Finally getting my **** together. about damn time

Thank the good lord for the miraculous turnaround

Can't argue with this, it's definitely only happening because it's the "in" thing to do at the moment. What i mean is that the ^ awareness and ^ donations is awesome, but i don't need proof that you donated. Donate if you can/want to, and let it be the end of it.

But like somebody else said, if the guy leading the effort doesn't care why people are donating, neither do i

Start the Chug a Beer challenge and you have to donate $10 to AA.

That'll piss some people off.

My buddy did that Friday night. He was drunk and posted a video challenging 3 people to drink. He said "its not going to make anyone not have a disease, but just do it anyway." It was funny because he was ripped and probably had no idea he did it until his phone started blowing up in the morning with notifications.

So tired of the "97% of my friends won't post this" crap.

Guess what, bucco, I am the 97%.

[Idoit40fans]

Every time I saw that I wanted to say something to the effect of "97% of your friends dont care/like you"

Same people who are "friends" with anyone they have a vague connection to like we went to the same elementary school, right?
