    Thumbs up Ice Bucket Challenge Series

    Have any of you guys seen these, it's really caught on with the NHL players and they're all posting them

    Here's an example (tons more linked on the right hand side too):

    It's an initiative to raise money for ALS whereby you douse yourself with ice water and then throw out the challenge to someone else, it's a great idea and fun to watch

    you can read about it here: http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/ice...challenge.html

    from what I gather the main benefit of it is exposure! you have the best hockey players in the world dumping freezing water on themselves so people pay attention and donate to the cause....I think there is sort of an unwritten rule among the players too that you have to respond to a challenge in a certain amount of time and if you have to pony up big cash. I'm sure they all also make their own donations outside of this too so it's a win-win for everyone.

    Unless they're actually donating themselves, or getting rich friends to donate, then I'm not sure these acts accomplish much with respect to helping the true cause. Sounds more like a way for celebs to build their own image.

    Hah... I actually think it is disingenuous of them to be taking advantage of this campaign for their own publicity unless they themselves are donating.

    Fair enough, your point makes sense. I would think they are contributing.....

    Donations are up 1000% over this time last year, so it is working. The question I have is why diseases need such disgusting amounts of money to 'cure'... Somebody is getting very rich.

    Damn, shot my theory down in flames. I thought his party poopiness stemmed from no weed, bad weed, or Corona consumption.
