How could a bunch of useless people with no research skills meant to find a cure for ALS?
The people that do the challenge thing are meant to be donating money to hopefully actually cure it.
We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.
Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Someone missed the point of the bucket challenge.....
Originally the challenge was for not donating, or at least donating less. Like, donate or do the challenge. I don't know who donates, and I think raising awareness is always good, but most of the videos I see are people getting wet and barely anyone actually talking about the disease. I think more people should make videos like Gaijin Goombah.
somethingabout10charSince the ice bucket challenge began, over 15 million dollars has been raised for ALS research.
Celebrities do seem to be fucking it up, granted. (not what OP was talking about though)
You see a lot of them using it as a chance to name-drop, show off and they forget to include any call to action/links to donate. I think Steve-O hit the nail on the head really.

This video alone made the whole fucking thing worth it.
Did you just use a 6 year old meme of "why so serious?" to bitch about others not taking ALS serious enough? It's not crazy, some people simply lack enough self awareness to bitch that people are not doing enough. In two threads even... damn... Here is a meme for ya...

I didn't even know that the ice bucket challenge was meant to be something to encourage people to donate to charity. It just seemed like something a bunch of celebrities were doing for the sake of entertainment and to slyly try and remain relevant. I saw a few videos and not a single one mentioned anything about donating to a good cause.
It raises money. It makes people aware of ALS.

I have yet to see a celebrity or public figure dump water on their heads and not donate, so the campaign is working as intended. Hell even George Dubya did it.
Putin khuliyo
I had assumed that it was just one of those 'lel let's act like morons because internet' things at first to be honest with you.
But it's all for a good cause so I can't really fault them.
Well to me its more of a piramide scam.
In August 2014, a challenge went viral online which was commonly known as the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge". A contestant will fill a bucket full of ice and water; they will then state who summoned them to do the challenge and will summon three other individuals of their choice to take part in it. The contestant then dumps the bucket of ice and water onto themselves. The contestant should then donate US $10 (or a similar amount in their local currency) to ALS research at the ALS Association, or Motor Neurone Disease Association in the UK. Any contestant who refuses to have the ice and water dumped on then is expected to donate US $100 to ALS research.
Many celebrities have taken part in the challenge, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Chris Pratt,[90] Anna Wintour, David Beckham, Justin Bieber, Reba McEntire, Cheryl Cole, George W. Bush, Lady Gaga, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah and Bill Gates, among many other well-known personalities and members of the general public.

Cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Exterminate everyone who is genetic defective or put that money into a genetic cure research (fixes human genes in laborotory before inserting into a woman or machine). Wich will probaly be more useful to cure every genetic disease than just one.
Don't sweat the details!!!
Get a grip man! It's CHEESE!
