My friend's step-dad was taken away from him two years ago because of ALS. If someone nominates me, I'll make a video and all that, but I've already donated.

The CEO and CFO of the company I work for did it yesterday at our Town Hall meeting, they said we can share the link so I will.  We do things differently here at work compared to most normal jobs

So I haven't really made my view on this known, but I honestly think it's kind of stupid.

I think it's great that people are raising awareness and donating, but honestly, couldn't we all have just donated and skipped posting videos of ourselves on facebook?

Up until now I've remained silent in every aspect of this- I've not commented on ANYONE's video out of fear of being tagged.  For one thing, I don' have the time or the desire to dump ice water over my head, and I certainly am not interested in posting the end result of it on facebook.  I also don't have a spare $100 laying around. 

Even my father had the sense not to tag me for this, because he guessed how I would react.

But leave it to my mom's asshole friend, who did the challenge with her daughter, to challenge not three people, but three MOTHER DAUGHTER duos.  And...you guessed correctly...SHE FUCKING TAGGED ME AND MY MOTHER

So in the last 5 minutes
I got the notification on facebook that I'd been tagged.
I got a phone call from my mother.  The following conversation ensued:
Her:  "Have you seen facebook in the last few minutes?"
Me:  "Yeah, I saw I was tagged for the stupid ice bucket thing and I'm not doing it."
Her:  I forget exactly what she said but it involved her packing my bags to send me on a massive fucking guilt trip.  Something about the two videos that she posted that featured people with ALS and how I should watch them because they might change my mind because ALS is a death sentence. 
Me:  "I think it's great that this has raised awareness and money, and I'll donate, but dumping ice water on yourself is fucking stupid.  Ain't nobody got time fo' that.  And I certainly don't need to post about it on facebook."
Her: "Come on we'll do something creative" and some more of the guilt trip
Me:  "You know my dad had the sense to not tag me for this stupid thing.  Leave it to Kate (her friend who tagged us).  "I'm not doing it."
Her:  "Well you're just fucking miserable I'll talk to you later."
Me:  "Alright see ya."  Click.

My mom is the type of person who posts videos of herself and hopes that they go viral.  I assure you that she's more upset about the fact that I won't participate in her latest showboating venture than about the fact that I appear reluctant about donating to ALS. 
We might cure ALS out of this but there ain't no cure for mother/daughter drama.

Interesting graphic regarding this topic:



It is insane that heart disease research gets barely more than ALS research, even though a hundred times more people die of heart disease.

A good chunk of people with heart disease can take care of it themselves. I've changed my eating/drinking habits lately and have got to the point where I've started noticing differences in how I feel.

Yeah, I mean I recognize that a lot of that stuff can be genetic, but a shitton of heart disease and COPD could be easily eliminated if people changed their lifestyles and whatnot. Especially COPD. I see that shit all the time at work- they've been smoking their entire lives and now they're dying. Preventing that does not require research or donations.

I honestly wasn't aware of this thing until Wednesday when my friends started talking about it. Since then, I've been starting to notice it everywhere, the clips are all over the place and so many cool people took part. I loved Geddy Lee, Conan O'Brien and Charlie Sheen. I had no idea about Neal Morse and Jordan Rudess until I came to this thread, those were hilarious as well.  :lol

I truly hope this thing did raise awareness about the sickness, because I'm sure some people are just laughing at the fact that celebrities are pouring water all over themselves, not really caring what it's really about. It's a shame if some people are offended by the challenge - the people that started it meant best.

Well if it makes you guys feel better, I nominated three of my good friends and all three didnt do it or donate.  I did not pressure them, its their choice.  No one should be pressured or feel obligated to do anything.

It's gotten to the point now that if you're a famous person and you don't do a video - you'll probably get called selfish or something.

Agreed.  I think the whole thing is fun, but if someone doesn't want to do it, then they don't have to, and anyone who plays the "You HAVE to do it" guilt trip game needs to get a grip.

You should have said, "You are only supposed to challenge three people, so because she challenged more than that, her challenge is now null and void." :lol :lol
