It was humorous a month and 2000 videos ago.

It's supposed to raise awareness for a horrible disease. Sorry that you were forced to watch the videos.

"........But the ALS Association has since said that it has raised $15.6 million as a result of the challenge, nine times what it normally raises in the same time frame. Another ALS charity, Project ALS, told the Washington Post that its donations were 50 times normal. ALS TDI, another ALS charity, says that has raised $580,000 since the beginning of August, 10 times what it normally receives.

It was an observation. I am truly glad that it has raised that much money, the problem is always maintaining the message. It is the " Ice Bucket Challenge" now, not the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge or the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS. The message has been drowned out...pun intended. 580k or 15 million for an estimated 22 million challenges is misguided and unfortunate. The point was, send in $20, the charity would find that more beneficial.

The Foo Fighters have officially won the challenge. Haven't seen one better...

I'm not sure that wins it, for me. I thought Zac Brown's was better, and even Bill Gates had more humor than this strange thing.

Did you never see Carrie?

I know the reference, and it fits the Foos to the T.

Someone should do Stephen Hawking. Tell him it's for his own good.

Man, that's a bucket of icewater...

I'm posting a 'ducer alert just so he knows I really do not want to ice bucket Stephen Hawking. If that makes me a liar, so be it.
