re: Who comes up with these lame challenges?

The ice bucket challenge is such a slap in the face to charity. You are openly advertising that you are choosing to dumb a bucket of ice water if your head than donate a single dollar to ALS. Sure, awareness is being somewhat raised. But 90% of the kids doing the challenge are not reading into ALS or donating money to ALS. They are just doing it to post of their social media site.
Even if it is only a $10 donation, it goes a lot longer way than dumping a bucket of ice on your head.

Pretty sure the original challenge asked you to donate a smaller amount if you performed icewater dump or make the $100 donation if you didn't.

Wrong. But thanks for playing.

Link to anything other than your uninformed opinion?

Which happens to be the usual amount of donation if you choose the ice bucket. Otherwise you donate $100. Try informing yourself just the smallest bit before going on a rant next time.

The other posters are right, it's ice and $10 or a bigger donation if you chicken out. I'd venture to say a large portion of the actual amount raised came from the chickens,and I have anecdotal evidence it has from those I challenged. Granted, many, if not most of the posts now don't mention that and they should not assume everyone just knows that part. But, how in the world is an additional $30 million raised this year, compared to last, any kind of slap in the face to charity?

You sir win the dumbass of the thread award. Great job!

I think the simple solution for you would be if you get nominated, donate to local ALS charities such as Team Gleason. Post a simple status update that says, "I accept _____'s challenge, but lieu of dumping ice water on my head, i will be making $100 donation in honor of Steve Gleason (or anyone you know with ALS) to Team Gleason. To learn more about teamgleason and the ways this organization provides support to those living with ALS, please visit www.teamgleason.org".
