off topic ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

[Hoss]

Well, GMTM got in on the challenge:

What are your thoughts on this trend? Have you done it? What's your favorite video so far?

Well, if GMTM's heart didn't give out there, he's gold — for at least another four to six months.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Yeah, I'm waiting for the one person to have the massive heart attack.

 

Then I'll watch that video go viral ... whatever that means.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... just kidding

[inkman]

So is it bucket of ice water or donate? I've read about the increase in donations to ALS but it seems like every yahoo I know on Facebook is just dumping water on themselves and saying nana nana boo boo and not donating ######.

That's the basis of it, but I assume that many are doing both. One of my friends did a video announcing that he would donate and then nominated others. It's definitely producing HUGE donations.

[Jeanbe]

Ryan Miller did this too and you'd think with a wife in the "industry" they would know how to use their phones for video. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine.

I love GMTM's response to the cold water.

[That Aud Smell]

Go BC.

[Brawndo]

Love the Buffalo Whiz Kid's Hockey Gloves.

 

 

Also to answer Tank's Original Question. I have done it and donated money as well. Apparently since July 29th the ALS Foundation has raised 5.5 Million compared to 32K during the same time last year.

Ice buckets are now taking #thetimmurraychallenge.

Yeah was thinking the same earlier, cheap bastards :P

[Iron Crotch]

I'm already sick of watching videos of people dumping water over their heads.

 

 

 

 

....yeah, I went there.

 

 

 

(yes, I know it is for a good cause)

I'd posted this one in the Thursday thread originally (in response to d4rk's complaint), but Paul Bissonnette of the Coyotes went all-out with his:

He also made a donation. Most celebrities are doing the videos and then donating.

 

I made my video today after being nominated by my brother. Nominated my girlfriend, three friends and OJ Simpson. Also nominated one of my friends who is being a royal douche about the whole video thing. Said that I would do a donation if he makes a video.

[Doohicksie]

I was nominated today. I will not do it. I don't even plan on acknowledging the nomination.

Plans change, I see.

The way i think it works and how i've done it was i pledged $20 when i got nominated. I did the challenge and nominated 3 people, when they do it, i will put in $20 per person who does it, if one of them bails, they owe $100.

[Huckleberry]

yeah every politician over here doing it to, freeking hypocrites prolly not even donating :D

[Doohicksie]

Plans change, I see.

 

I mean I won't acknowledge the challenge to the person who challenged me.

[inkman]

I mean I won't acknowledge the challenge to the person who challenged me.

I appreciate this stance. I donate to several charities a year. I don't need my hand forced by some Internet fad.

[Hoss]

I'm okay with saying no and that you don't believe in the cause. I disagree, but I respect it. I'm okay with quietly donating or pledging to the cause.

 

I can't stand those who feel like they're above it, and those who are insulting the ones participating. Those people are just losers sitting back doing nothing and scoffing at those having fun doing something.

 

 

I do not give one ###### if it's an internet fad. If an internet fad can raise $6 million and make hundreds -- THOUSANDS (maybe even millions) -- more aware of such a horrible thing then ###### those who feel the need to insult it in any way.

[drnkirishone]

i predict in a few years it will simply be the ice bucket challenge and be like the cinnamon challenge and thous doing it will have no idea about ALS. the reason for doing it is already being drowned out by the meme

I have no problems with this fad, but I also don't like people pressuring people into donating.
