how many OTers have partaken in this? I see it all over my Facebook and Twitter feed (kinda annoying). The Polar Plunge videos were much more badass, imo

It disappeared from my feed a couple weeks ago

It was really popular then, died out, but team Gleason jumped on bored recently so now it's back


Much prefer that over the advocate newsfeed

Pouring ice water over your head does not cure ALS, and I'm getting really annoyed with people acting like they are great philanthropists because of it. It's like the people who think they are contributing to world peace by tweeting #BringBackOurGirls. You know, since radical terrorists monitor and comply with trending Twitter topics.

Awareness is great, but only if it yields action that actually makes a difference.

It's general attention seeking with a cause attached, but apparently donations have shot through the roof so I'm fine with it. Whatever works.

It's annoying but I understand the reasoning behind it. Seems like it's more for self gratification and recognition than anything. I'd rather just donate the money to ALS if someone called me out.

Can we start an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for the OT and post or vids in this thread? I want to challenge PEEJ.

Explain to me how it works.


You donate money if you do the ice, and donate more if you don't?

An ice bucket challenge isn’t what helped Jonas Salk find a cure for polio.
