So they're fucking everywhere, but haven't really annoyed me because people are actually donating money to the cause at a record rate. < The Foo Fighters got pretty creative with their video. > < Charlie Sheen, of course, takes it the next level. > I mean, this is just brilliant. "Hey other rich guys who have pissed me off. Match my $10,000 donation or look like fucking assholes." Posted by Vince on Aug. 19 2014,13:36
Yeah, that's one of those things I'm getting tired of seeing but not wanting to come across like an asshole so I just keep my mouth shut.Like all the freakin' Robin Williams tributes. Posted by GORDON on Aug. 19 2014,13:42
As someone who was tested for ALS 3 times because I had all the symptoms but the test kept coming up negative, I have an opinion about this.

Shit. Realized I didn't link the Foo Fighters' video. Still, Charlie Sheen wins. Posted by Leisher on Aug. 21 2014,09:05
Obama refused to do it and claims to be giving money, but I'll believe that when I see it. He'll probably donate tax payer money...Meanwhile G.W. just did it and challenged Clinton. I hope Clinton works boobs into his video. Posted by Vince on Aug. 21 2014,09:27
As long as it's not Hillary boob...

Clinton would dump ice-water on some Hooters waitresses. Wet T-Shirt!

PS: one of my FB friends posted something like, "I don't get this," and all the comments were like, "AWARENESS!" and my friend was like, "oh sure I love awareness!"Fuck Awareness. Post a link to "Pride of the Yankees" or something. Posted by Leisher on Aug. 21 2014,14:15

Biggest problem I have with all of it is. . . . I never see any ice in the buckets. I've seen one video with ice in the water. But, it was about 7 cubes put in the water right before being dumped. NO ONE is using actual ice water. I just want to slap them.

Ice in water for 5 seconds doesnt make the water very cold. Posted by GORDON on Aug. 22 2014,16:49
My kid got challenged and did it. I filled a big bowl with ice and topped it with cold tap water. It was damned cold but you can't really see the ice in the vid.Just FYI. Posted by Leisher on Aug. 25 2014,06:21
You've got to look at the ground afterwards.

< Matt Damon's ALS challenge. >He used toilet water because he's a co-founder of water.org which is a group dedicated to getting clean drinking water to the 800 million or 2.5 billion (different numbers in the same article...) who don't have it. He said it seemed silly to waste clean water doing this challenge when he's so involved with that organization and there's a drought in California. Ok, I'm not even going to touch the whole "wasting water" thing and how stupid that logic is, but I do have to ask how much water did he waste when he showered to wash off the toilet water?

(Leisher @ Aug. 27 2014,12:48) QUOTE < Two > < deaths. > QUOTE “It is with sadness and regret that we have indeed ruled this a very tragic, unimaginable accident,” said Fiandaca. “Ms. Johnson was simply trying to help raise money for ALS along with her friends, but she went into hypothermia after pouring a bucket of ice water over her head, and then not changing out of her wet clothes for several hours. The hypothermia went untreated and unfortunately resulted in her death, autopsy pending.” Yeah. Totally a bang-bang series of events that offered no interim for reflection and diagnosis. Was this in the middle of a kegger? Was everyone wasted? Posted by TPRJones on Aug. 28 2014,16:20
