I have lost family to ALS. I know people with ALS.

Sorry to hurt your feelings. My problem is not with how much money it made. Obviously its a horrific disease. My problem is with how many assholes just dump water over their heads, post their video to youtube or wherever else for a "me" moment. Why even have any sort of challenge. Why can't people just simply mail a check in?  Quote HistoryQuoted:

If it raises money or helps somehow, great. Keep it going.
The problem is that for a lot of people its nothing more than the next kony-harlemshake-planking social media fad. I know a lot of people that made videos but didnt donate a dime. |

Wasn't the premise that if you didn't "accept" the challenge that you were supposed to donate $100, and if you did "accept" then donate $10? If that is true, as I understand it, then people are showing that they would rather dump a bucket of ice over their head than to make a large donation to the cause. You get tagged cause you're on social media, and you have 3 options, do this dumbass shit, donate or look like a prick. What can't we do the same thing for guns? Sorry your feelings got hurt. I didn't give two shits. Not cause I don't care about the illness, I think the method is bullshit. It's a social media gotcha deal. Ohh I dumped water over my head, look at me, or I cut a check cause I won't. How about you volunteer at a local hospital, or nursing home. Then come at me with your latest fad. I thought the red cross pimping people after 9-11 was bad, this latest social media bullshit is worse. It is literally the equivalent of me walking out of a grocer here and some brit chick on behalf of the cancer council trying to guilt me out of money. She actually said, "what if someone in your family had cancer?" At that time my mom did. Fuck guilt trip causes. And the whole ice bucket challenge was exactly that, the whole design was so you'd get tagged and have to pay up or else. Show me otherwise. That's not witty, that's not cunning, that's fucking duress/coercion. |

He might have sent a million, the fact he doesn't want attention for it is admirable. You know, the exact opposite of this exercise.

The Ice Bucket Challenge Led to a Major Breakthrough in ALS Research
ALS Thanks to the ALS Association, the summer of 2014 will be forever associated with videos of people pouring freezing water over their heads. While some criticized the "Ice Bucket Challenge" as a classic example of "slacktivism," or just another annoying trend clogging their newsfeeds, the numbers can’t be denied: the challenge's 17 million participants ended up raising over $220 million for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) research. The organization says it was likely the single largest episode of giving outside of a disaster event. And now, one year later, scientists at Johns Hopkins are crediting a major breakthrough in ALS research to the viral fundraiser. According to researcher Jonathan Ling, the millions of dollars donated has given him and his colleagues the financial freedom to pursue “high risk, high reward” experiments. This time, their risks seem to have paid off. The breakthrough discovery deals with the mysterious TDP-43, a protein that can be found clumped outside the nuclei of brain cells of patients with ALS. In a study published last week, the protein was found to break down in mice and become incapable of properly decoding the DNA it was meant to. This caused the cells to die within a few days. When researchers then introduced a protein designed to mimic TDP-43 into the neurons, cells came back to life and were fully restored. This was an incredible breakthrough for the field, as treatment could have the potential to slow down or even stop effects of the disease, which is currently incurable. |

It's simple, it raised money and it raised awareness (and was fun for a lot of people).....far more so than if it didn't exist.
All these people bitching about it, I bet didn't donate a single cent. Sad. |

And I still think it's retarded. All the morons dumping buckets over their head in 90 degree heat should you know, donate anyway, or volunteer. Seriously, volunteer's done the right way can make a huge difference. But that's America now, we love to use dead people for a cause, we just don't want to be around them when shit gets bad. I'm not a total ass, I appreciate people helping, with money, or other ways. I just thought the method, while successful cause most people are fucking idiots, used an approach that seems desperate. Then again, I always had a soft spot for Jerry's kids, so maybe I'm the simpleton. Quote HistoryQuoted:

There's your sign. Maybe it's just my Murican showing but there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking like or even being a prick. So put a bucket up outside a store, and don't use carnival shit to guilt people into giving money. How about that? Why resort to schemes? Because it works. Worked so well they're going to try it again. I bet they don't do 50 mil this time. And I still think it's retarded.
