Ice bucket challenge...

That's what I just read lol. Apparently they throw water on themselves to avoid donating money? Sounds like a great cause.

I guess i thought it was common information

Yeah, I guess. Usually when I watch ice water being dropped on someone I assume it is for ALS.

Next level tinfoil hat dot connecting: new, as-yet unpublished research shows strong correlation between experiencing temperature shock on your head (e.g. dumping ice water on it) and the development of ALS in later years. Shady scientists trying to create millions of cases of ALS so that it get more attention in a few decades and is finally "popular" enough of a disease to get on the priority to-cure list. Money is dumped into research, and few short years later, ALS is cured.

I was pretty cynical when these videos started popping up. Seems like a lot of people doing something dumb for some internet attention.

Even if this is true for the most part, there has been a THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR increase in donations in the last month for one of the scariest diseases out there. Keep it up and toss a couple bucks in at http://www.alsa.org if you're flush with cash.

Wow, seen tons of these videos and never seen that mentioned once.

Same here.

My uncle actually passed away from this disease. I am doing my challenge for him this week sometime. I'll try and post the vid.

How about you donate instead of dumping water on yourself... Or better yet, do both...

So people dump water on themselves to get e-attention? I don't see how this is helping any cause. Volunteer, tell a friend, or donate money anything besides being an attention whore.
