Very interesting.. How are they raising money through this though?? Or are they just donating themselves??
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

Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
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.
Oddly random and pointless, but heh I hope it works.

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.
Fair enough, your point makes sense. I would think they are contributing.....
I think blayze should do his own ice bucket challenge video.......
Doooooooooooooooooooooooo it blayze!
