Ice bucket challenge...

[Swish]

Don't see no ice in about a dozen of these I've watched so far (from Bill Gates, the US Ryder Cup or whatever team, to people I subscribe to on YT)

People confirmed tipping warm water on themselves for likes and subscribes.

Has anyone on P99 done it yet? If so, post it up... and with ice cubes! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ready for the fad to be over.

It should NOT take the internet to get people inspired to donate money towards a way to help people who suffer from a terrible thing. It's such a cry for positive attention when people have to post videos of themselves or talk about how they did something in order to help other people by donating towards a solution or cure.

If people really cared, about other people who suffer they would donate money towards a solution\cure without looking for attention or telling others about it.

And this is the close minded approach. The point of the videos is to get people talking. Its working. With an incredible increase in donations over the last month obviously it's working. If I told my friends I donated and showed a reciept would it drum up this kind of following? Now throw some water on yourself an donate some cash, challenge some friends and it starts to spread.

Its the sad truth of the world we live in for sure. You can show all the best data available that this is a serious issue and people are dying from something that may be treatable. But unless celebrities are posting super kewl videos no one cares.

This is how everything gets done in the world, always.

I noticed you didn't mention ALS in your post.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is the progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.

By the year 2025, one in every 25 American adults will be diagnosed with ALS, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s. Experts agree that unless we declare war on ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s, these neurodegenerative diseases, as they are known, will become a global health crisis.

You've seen the ice bucket challenge videos how many times and have not yet gained the awareness they are trying to spread?

Keep them coming guys, our work is not done!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the fail compilation:

There are monsters in real life. There are heroes in real life. They are both us. Do something good, even if it's stupid. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
