[Pila]

[ManDudeChild]

I did the ice bucket challenge Picard style and without having to waste time uploading anything.

Tl;dr - donated and had a drink.

 

[Mechanized]

If someone nominates me I'll do it, but I already donated a few days ago regardless.

 

[SummitAve]

That didn't look like ice water!

 

[lunchtoast]

I got challenged but didn't have the time to do it. Oh well.

 

[Pickman]

I have not. But if and when I do get challenged, I have a batman cape and cowl waiting.

 

[jond76]

That didn't look like ice water!

I made the ice water first and then filmed. I'm in Texas, by the time I got to dumping it, the ice was mostly melted. The shot of ice with me laughing is the bucket at the beginning. It was still cold tho!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

That was great lol. Your kid was really funny at the end!

LOL, best one I've seen.

Thanks guys!

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

No. I got "nominated" but it was in a long list of people so I didn't feel that bad ignoring it.

[freshair]

It's making my way around my FB feed with people I actually know, so I'm assuming it's going to happen sooner or later, but as of now not yet.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

[Brofist]

I post a picture of myself holding a bucket of ice water on my various SNS sites everyday, so people don't forget just how important I am.

[pauljeremiah]

Did mine today, nominated some former 1UPers ^_^

 

[Jhoan]

I got nominated last night and plan on having my brother record it tonight after he gets home. More or less got my nominees list written down. I'm planning donating 5-10 bucks to Child's Play.

How can some people be this stupid?

Isn't the point that you either donate money OR take an ice bucket to the face?
Not sure when it transformed into doing both.

With a note for them to forward it to the ALS Association?

 

[darylbaxter]

I declined. I thought I'd explain my reasons why in the best way I know how:
Here.

You mean the ALS Foundation, right?

Oh brother.

Estimates are that participants have used 5 million gallons of water so far.

If it's 5 million gallons of water wasted so far in three weeks, that's a tiny amount compared to the 320 gallons of water used by an American household per day. Then, given 117,538,000 households according to the last census, that's 37,612,160,000 gallons used in one day. Five million out of more than 37.5 billion gallons equals about .01 percent.

this is a joke post, right?

 

[benjipwns]

this is a joke post, right?

He's actually doing it properly, he doesn't want to donate to ALSA so he got water dumped on him. He's just also letting you know about a donation he's making to another charity.

So he's dumping the water for shits and giggles then?

 

[Macattk15]

I just donated money.

 

[phxxBullet]

Nope, also not going to do that.
It's just stupid in my eyes, but each to their own.

 

[Rich!]

I got nominated

I will make it epic. And donate, of course

 

[Stet]

What kind of tax credit do you get for donating 5-10 dollars to Child's Play?

 

[Psychotext]

Nominated. Too busy / can't be arsed so donated to random charity (though I've already donated a bunch this month anyway).

Sheen did it best.

 

[Legendarybeepa]

It's all over my FB feed and has become annoying. Raises awareness on one hand, which is good, but brings out attention seeking dip shits, which is bad.

This is me just being a grumpy fucker of course, fair play if loads of money is being raised.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Waiting for my best mate's sister to do it, she fucking hot!

 

[Mask]

Nope.

Won't do anything for a charity that uses animal testing, and it's a waste of water.

 

[Rich!]

Right, got filming slightly organized for this weekend. Its going to be a 20 minute emotional epic which will likely go hilariously, significantly wrong during the segment in the local town high street.

Just gotta finish the screenplay and get suitable clothing for the villain, and work out a suitable song for the montage.

Yeah, im going all out.

news story about how the donations are helping.
http://boston.cbslocal.com/2014/08/...xpedites-cambridge-institutes-als-drug-trial/

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – The CEO of a Massachusetts ALS research organization said donations from the Ice Bucket Challenge are responsible for expediting the timeline of a clinical drug trial by two years.

Dr. Steve Perrin, the CEO and chief scientific officer of ALS Therary Development Institute in Cambridge, said the organization will invest $1.5 million to partner with another company, aiming to have their drug in clinical trials by early 2015.

Perrin said ALS TDI was able to move the timeline up by two years because of the $3 million it raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge.

“The Ice Bucket Challenge has just been an amazing campaign started by a couple ALS patients who obviously had no idea it was going to go viral. And yet it’s changed the ALS landscape forever,” said Perrin in an interview with WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Anthony Silva.

Info about the organization

Located in Cambridge, ALS TDI is a non-profit organization founded in 1999 that includes 54 employees and 36 full-time scientists. ALS TDI started in the basement of a Newton family whose son had been diagnosed with ALS, and grew into the largest research institute for the disease.
