Soooo, I had this conversation the other day with a friend about this ... isn't doing it the copout? If I understand the challenge correctly, doing the ice bucket thing let's you only donate $10, whereas not doing it requires you to donate $100.
I mean, it's great that ALS research gets money either way, but the way it's set up it strikes me as a convenient way of dropping ice on your head and sending your friends a video about it.

That's what I thought too. That is until I read that this has raised over $14million for ALS.

Yes, but it also raises awareness by doing it regardless of donation.  I did mine a couple weeks ago.  It was fun.

The friend I talked to made the excellent point that it should be set up so that you challenge someone, and when they do it, *you* will donate money.

First off its a great cause and its nice to see how much money it has raised... BUT... so many people are just doing this thing just to be part of a social phenomenon. Its the hip thing to do in its 15 minutes. They do it, and post the video and have someone else do it and post the video, etc...
I'd be willing to bet many of the people doing it have not donated a nickle to ALS and if you asked them 2 days after they did the challenge what the charity was they did it for many wouldn't have a clue.

Doesn't matter. If I do it and don't donate, and challenge two others who do it and don't donate, but one of the four they challenge does donate... mission accomplished. There was probably millions who didn't donate but inadvertently got thousands to donate who otherwise would not have.

And having your shirt off already is cheating! My friend Alex did that over the weekend when he did it and I gave him serious crap for already having his shirt off.  I told him to man up and do it fully clothed like almost everybody else. :biggrin: :lol

Well, he kinda was pompous about it.  But it was still cool nonetheless.

It's cool that he called out other celebs to do the same. If it gets people donating large sums to a worthy cause - where's the harm in being a *little* big headed ?
