No, awareness doesn't do shit.  

You're right, the money is there...but you know damn well what I'm getting at.  It's this damn "awareness" and self-centered look-what-I-did challenge BS that the majority of people are outwardly displaying with absolutely no intentions of actually doing anything productive.

The MAJORITY of people playing into this fad (yes, it's exactly that, a fad) have no intentions of helping out financially or otherwise.  And if they want to try to play the saint role by saying they're fucking "aware", fuck them.  It's disgusting, really.

Maybe I don't get out enough, but of the four people I've heard discuss this trend openly in real life, none of them have said anything about ALS or any other cause.  All it was, was discussing how cold the water was...or so and so challenged so and so, or how they want to post a nifty video, or how they tagged so and so.  

For your average social media fiend (including those of us on THIS site), it's a fucking laughable joke...with no good intentions or true purpose.

What's bullshit?  So far this year, they've raised twice what they raised in all of 2013.  Only difference is this social media thing.  Not everyone contributes money, but the ones who have probably wouldn't have without the mainstream attention whoring.


How much have you donated, since you're such a proponent?

Awareness doesn't do a damn thing.  I'm aware that a retired co worker has had Lou Gherig's for over a year now, but that hasn't helped his plight in the least.

All this is, is a show of selfishness on the part of those who want to jump in on the fad with an "OMGZ look what I did!!.!.!! Lolz" attitude.  No clue as to why they're really doing it besides it looks cool on their Facebook feed.

Want some examples?  Search all the ice bucket challenge threads, and show me where people have stated they're willing to do anything actually productive...like donating money to the correct research stream, or volunteer their personal time.  



As stated above, I've contributed $0 to ALS.  I've also not dumped or been dumped on.

Awareness doesn't do a damn thing?  Seriously?  $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until Aug. 21 this year, compared with $2.1 million in the same period last year and $19.4 in all of 2013.

From the ALS Association, "These donations have come from existing donors and 739,275 new donors to The Association."

Other ALS charities have also seen substantial increases in donations versus previous years.

"Awareness" did that.  739,275 "new donors" and I'm sure just as many (or more ) have just attention whored without donating.  The latter group doesn't undo the productivity of the former.

ETA: If you want to waste time being annoyed that people spend time (and money) on stupid shit, here, knock your self out with the $200Million a fucking Kim Kardashian smartphone game is going to earn this year.

Attention=awareness=donations

It's really that simple.
If you can't afford to or just don't want to, great. But you're talking about it. EVERYONE is talking about it.
If you don't see how that's a good thing, that raises MORE money, then I can't help you.

I really don't.

Yes, it's a fad.  A hugely successful fad.  Successful in raising money, by raising awareness, which has raised more money.

My expectation is that July 29 - August 21 of 2015 will be right back at 2013 donation levels.  So what?  The money was raised, and it will be spent on "productive stuff".

Why are you intent on discounting the 739,275 new donors because of, theoretically, 7,392,750 who make a dumb video without donating money or time?  Who cares?  Consider them "advertising" and if nothing else, their sheer numbers are what push some wealthy celebrity to write a fat check.

Really?  Where have I discounted the new donors?   Good for the foundation, YAAAAY!

I've repeatedly stated it's the ne'er do wells that play into this for their little bit of perceived fame on the Internet, and will sit back and not do anything productive for the cause after the fact..  If you want to claim I'm against the millions of dollars as opposed to the millions of poseurs who are just playing into this whole fad, so be it, I'm not going to be able to word it any more clearly as to what I'm referring to.

People don't want to be faceless donors of cash.  They want to be part of the solution.  They want to be recognized for their contribution.  That's why this charity drive works soooo damned well, and will be copied in some way as soon as this one dies down, forever and ever, as long as social media exists.

Make a bucket out of ice (coat buckets with PAM, small bucket in bigger bucket, add water, throw in freezer).  Find some way to bust or rapidly melt the water-filled ice bucket over your head.

California Fining ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ Participants for Wasting Water


It's been relatively easy to track them down too, since the participants have been posting about it online.  One sorority (since the video clearly showed the front of their chapter house) racked up $25,000 in fines ($500 a person) for dumping an estimated 250  gallons of water in the "challenge".

This thing is about 14:30 into its 15 minutes of fame.  By Thanksgiving, nobody will remember it.  It's the Macarena of charitable marketing gimmicks.  

Awareness may equal donations to Charity X, but those donations come at the expense of Charity Y.  It's net neutral.  People don't have an unlimited supply of money to give to charitable causes.  They have a bucket (no pun intended) for charitable contributions.  If they give $100 to ALS, that's $100 they won't be giving to Susan G. Komen or Livestrong (speaking of fads -- still have your yellow bracelet?).  

If people were rational, they'd want to know what they're getting for their money prior to giving.  What percentage goes to research?  How much to overhead?  What breakthroughs were made with last year's budget?  How close are we to a cure?  Why this disease and not all the other ones?  Is this disease the most deadly?  Does it affect the most people?  

The charities don't want people asking these questions.  Just fall for the gimmick, whether it's an ice bucket or a pink ribbon, and pay up.  

Expect a lot more of these "social media" gimmicks as other charities try to get in on the action.  But ask yourself, Is this really the best way to allocate funds for medical research?  By who has the best marketing department?  Or the most sympathetic victims?

Check out the movie Pink Ribbons, Inc. on Netflix.

Imagine cold river mountain water for a dunk.




And yes I will still donate, not just for ALS but for Cancer research too.

ALS is bilking people of their money. Congrats on lining the pockets of another "wounded warrior" fake foundation.



Da FUQ you talking about?  

72% goes to the charity.  They have a 28% operating expense...with Admin expenses (salaries) of $2,195,025.  Do you even Charity Navigator bro?

Might as well plan a Harlem shake video as well.


Don't forget a twerking video, too.

I can hardly wait for the next stupid fucking fadbook trend to show up.



Yes, the ice bucket thing feels a little long in the tooth, but did either of those other fads raise over $41 Million towards researching a cure for a horrible disease?



Only 27% of that goes to research...

Bump for epic rants. Details in OP.



I would write my own (and still may) but I have a lot of shit to get done this evening.

Wife got called out. She's going to do the generic bucket of ice water.

She's told me she's going to call me out. I essentially have 48 hours to do something awesome.

A bucket of water on my head is lame.

I'm thinking some sort of Rube Goldburg type set up that starts with me hitting a golf ball, throwing a football at a target, shooting a target... something fun.

I don't have tons of money to throw at this, nor do I have Destructive Devices, hookers, blow, imitation crab meat, or penguins.


UPDATE:

I've lined up something that will give Arfcom a collective hard on.

Now I just need an epic rant to deliver towards ALS before I ice the fuck out of an ice bucket.

Profanity is not prohibitted, but friends and family WILL see this on Facebook.

After I scrub it of details to protect my Supreme Master 12 Star General of the Super Secret Awesomeness Club identity, I'll post it here.

So. Have a few scotches, watch an Obama speech, attempt to masturbate to Hillary Clinton, and then use all that rage to generate your best anti-ALS rant.

Why anti-ALS?  I see epic fail in what you are trying to do.

Base it off the old Mouse Trap game. Or use a trebuchet to launch a pumpkin full of ice water.

Except instead of the bucket of water falling on OP, OP can dive into a bathtub full of ice water.

Way out of line.  Spreading lies about a charitable organization is not cool.

Pretty much this.

Tell them Facebook is for attention starved losers who cant help but post their daily lives.   It is like texting for window licking basement dwelling conformist retards that somehow became the "cool kids."

Delete those who challenge you, including your wife.



Or plan b...



Dump bucket of ice on sleeping wife while she is comfortably curled up in bed.
