To raise awareness for jumping off of a building into some water at two in the morning. I nominate you TWW.

You're supposed to do it first.

8/17/2014 1:56:59 PM

I did. You're going to have to trust me on this one

8/17/2014 1:59:24 PM

8/17/2014 2:40:25 PM

I nominate you to DONATE TO THE ALS FOUNDATION ANND SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!!!!

8/17/2014 3:13:29 PM

If half of these fucking idiots I've seen on FB dumping water on their damned heads had sent 5 bucks to the ALS Foundation, they would've cured this shit by now. This is nothing more than morons getting attention for themselves. Wow, what a feat. You survived 3 seconds of 40 degree water.

ICE BUCKET RISK OF DEATH FROM ICE-BUCKET AWARENESS CHALLENGE

WHO WANTS TO HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR THE AWARENESS OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAISING AWARENESS OF RISKS?

" Home> U.S. Man Dies in Dive After Raising $100K for ALS BOSTON — Aug 16, 2014, 8:13 PM ET Associated Press A 27-year-old man died in a Nantucket diving accident, hours after he raised $100,000 for a Lou Gehrig's disease charity in honor of his friend who inspired the ice-bucket challenge sensation. Nantucket Police tell the Boston Globe ( http://bit.ly/1tav0ve ) that Corey Griffin dove into the water from the "Juice Guys" building at around 2 a.m. Saturday. An off-duty lifeguard was nearby and recovered Griffin, who was pronounced dead at a hospital. Griffin's family says he was friends with former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates, whose family and friends launched the ice-bucket challenge to raise awareness and funds for charity. Twenty-nine-year-old Frates was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease, also known as ALS, in 2012. The movement has taken off around the country recently. Griffin, of Scituate, had been fundraising in Nantucket."

You're assuming that, in a lot of the vids, the ice wasn't just added to some room temp water seconds before starting the vid

8/17/2014 6:10:24 PM

Yeah, it's now a sensation all over internet only in one day. Crazy!

8/17/2014 6:14:36 PM

90% of the videos I have seen the people are putting the ice in the bucket less than 20 seconds before dumping it on them. Do people seriously think that is somehow impressive? That water could have been 70 degrees for all we know. Fill a bathtub with ice water and sit in it for 60 seconds then maybe ill be slightly impressed.

"Supposed". Most of the people I've seen do it, I know damn well aren't sending any money anywhere.

8/17/2014 6:51:24 PM

^^I think it's less about impressing folks by dumping cold water on their head and more about raising money

This is how you do it.

8/17/2014 7:02:03 PM

If it was about raising money they would just donate money not post videos online trying to look cool.

8/17/2014 7:02:38 PM

I think it shows they are strong and healthy, not cool.

8/17/2014 7:05:51 PM

what part about ice water makes them not look cool?

Has anyone been nominated? What do you do? Ignore it, do the challenge, donate, tell the person why you think it's stupid ... ?

8/17/2014 8:11:16 PM

I was nominated about 5 days ago when I was out of town on business. It's been well over the 24 hour time frame to complete the challenge now, so I'm just writing a big fat check to Lou Gehrig instead

skwinkle, post a video of you a) putting a check in the mail to ALS foundation, b) hitting send on the online donation page, or c) ignore it and go about your life

Well, if you mean ice water helps them cool down.

8/17/2014 8:44:20 PM

I haven't been tagged. I'm just curious how other people respond to it. I've thought about what I would do. I perhaps think about it more than most people because my dad has ALS.

8/17/2014 8:47:36 PM

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, I regret watching even one ice bucket challenge video. I want my 1 minute back

Someone make a plugin to filter this from my feed and I will donate money to ALS

8/17/2014 9:06:04 PM

Cot dammmmmmn you fucking nerds are some haters.

This campaign has raised more than ten million dollars for ALS, and it's not done yet.

This shit is working, despite you cynical losers.

8/17/2014 9:54:16 PM

^ it is definitely working and that's awesome. But I still think it is stupid, and I'm getting really tired of seeing the shit on Facebook.

8/17/2014 10:16:49 PM

My challenge was to raise awareness about jumping off a building at 2am

8/17/2014 10:17:02 PM

Cynical assholes ITT. This is about #10,000 on the list of things annoying on Facebook.

Make up your mind dude.

If you don't want to see people you know or are only mildly connected to doing stupid shit why are you on Facebook to begin with?

8/18/2014 9:21:42 AM

it would be better to call them out, anyone dumping the ice bucket on themselves only donated $10 instead of $100. cheapskates.

This shit (and reading the comments on NPR posts) is the only reason to even HAVE a facebook.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

8/18/2014 12:24:40 PM

Stupid fucking cousin tagged me in his ice-bucket challenge. I'm going to ignore it....and he's not my cousin anymore.

8/18/2014 12:48:27 PM

As someone who already donates annually to the ALS walk.... it is kind of annoying to be challenged multiple times to this thing, but that is just me being a bit of an asshole. I absolutely love how big it has gotten, though.

8/18/2014 12:49:30 PM

Yeah, it's going globally now.

It's working and it is awesome but it's stupid? Are you a special breed of mouth breather or what?

8/18/2014 7:36:13 PM

I bet at least half of the people doing the challenge don't even know what ALS is, other than maybe what it stands for.

8/18/2014 7:49:46 PM

It's like a celebrity show now.
