I really wish people would stop doing this ice bucket challenge, I'm tired of it being every third post in my news feed. Also if you want to help ALS awareness donate or something.
962 for my bitching

The fact I see so much about it tells me not to click any links for it.

All it does is says that you would rather be soaked in ice water than donate a few bucks.

It's attached to a charity?

No, but it's facebook and people believe that it will.

Oppos, the ALS campaign has raised an incredible amount. Many people donate and pass it on.

Still don't know what the ice bucket challenge is. Not interested in changing that.

My uncle has Multiple Sclerosis, I have seen first hand how devastating a chronic neurological disorder can be. I would donate if I wasnt a poor art student, but this cause is very important

Even with all of this going on, I still don't know what ALS is (I could Google it, but I don't want to). All I see is a bunch of people dumping buckets of water on themselves. A news station here showed themselves doing it as their first/top story tonight (5th story was a hit and run in a construction zone -_- ).

Lou Gehrig's Disease is a common name for it too.

I am biased because ALS is my fraternity's main charity. Lou Gehrig was in my fraternity. Still it seems like one of those underfunded diseases because there isn't enough money in a cure

MS research is also very underfunded for the same reason. A good friend of my family is Dr. Howard Weiner, author of Curing MS . Its a good read, you should check it out

My father does an MS bike ride. It's just hard to be OK with companies researching treatment instead of cures because of profit

You either dump ice water on yourself or donate $100 to ALS research. Most pick to dump ice water on themselves. I'd rather donate if I could.

In my area I'm just seeing people nominate others to dump water on each other with no mention of any sort of charity.

It started that way but now it's just everyone dumping water on their head.
