Okay, enough with this stupid ice water challenge.

[ToxicAdam]

When does it end? When people are reduced to challenging people like Tara Reid and Mase?

[helios]

What does JaRule think?

[AdmiralViscen]

They should at least put the ice in more than 5 seconds before dumping the bucket

[TakingBackSunday]

I don't have any friends to challenge me

 

[Robo]

I was challenged and donated $100 with employer matching to the ALSA and didn't even brag about it on social media.   Clearly doing it wrong.

[demi]

Why is this a thing, anyway? I saw my darling Andy get drenched (unfortunately not wearing a white shirt) before this thing blew up.

Yes you are.  You have made the ALSA marketing team cry. 

[Great Rumbler]

When does it end?

When ALS is cured, I guess.

Just on a forum

[Robo]

The 15 people who read this forum will be impressed with my charity, or else.

[Phoenix Dark]

It raised a lot of money for a good cause, and also raised awareness; the donations are much higher than they were for ALS last year. I can't hate.

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah- but then we wouldn't have had this gem

[Kara]

Thanks to this thread I was able to explain to a friend why their mom asked them to come over and film their dad dumping a bucket of ice water on himself. If I hadn't read this thread I'd have looked culturally ignorant.

Boreans helping Boreans. #solidarity

I've seen a lot of people complaining lately that it's total crap, it's stupid, it doesn't help anything, and the people never donate...

I got $40 for the food pantry I run at my church from it so... 

It's better than doing nothing at all.

[demi]

I dunno, $40 is a lot of money...

[Human Snorenado]

Quick, what's another fatal disease and a separate dumb thing people can dare each other to do? Gotta exploit this shit.

Immediately when PD posted that I thought "3 pancakes in and I already felt I had greatly over indulged"

I didn't mean it like that. I've been so glued to Ferguson that I haven't even watched soccer from Saturday yet.

You can pour ice water over your head and donate to an ALS charity, or pour ice water over your head and merely raise awareness.

It's totally harmless and has actually helped skyrocket donations. Plebes are getting irritated about hearing about it and should suckstart a pistol.

Of course it is. I can still poke all manner of fun at it, though!

[Groogrux]

I dunno, $40 is a lot of money...

$40 is enough to buy food to last a family of 4 for a week.
$40 is enough to buy over 50 cans of food
$40 is enough to buy over 200 packs of Ramen noodles

Not trying to be a dick here, but I wouldn't have gotten zilch for the food pantry if they hadn't done those videos. 

If these guys are so awesome and want to criticize the people making these videos, then they should take some of the money they were going to spend on video games and all other sorts of non-essential crap and donate it to a charity that way other people don't have to make videos to raise awareness for donations. 

Problem solved.

[demi]

Lol, nicca, nobody in America has the thought process to make a week of food for $40

Get on that welfare train

Haha, you think I'm giving them the money?  Way ahead of you.  I buy the food for them and bring it to them.  It's nothing of such great value that anybody wants to trade a bottle of pills or a bag of meth for, but it will feed them.  And for once, they'll have no other option but to feed their kids too.

I think I live on $40 a week for food atm.

(Excluding nights out.)

It's not hard to do.  Ask a college student and they'll tell you how to do it for cheaper!  How else are they paying that bar tab on Friday night?

[Mupepe]

40 bucks a week is enough for me. And I eat as much as a small family

[etiolate]

Immersing yourself in cold water during the heat of summer isn't a challenge. That's social security funded air conditioning.

[Great Rumbler]

Drink water from the fire hydrant
Eat ramen noodles and Totino's party pizzas

That's probably a lot less than $40 a week, actually.

[Groogrux]

 

Seriously though, the first video I saw posted of it was back in March.  That's a polar bear plunge.

[demi]

Dump ice water on yourself for me Andy and I'll donate to your sex pantry

[Human Snorenado]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiit, I used to live on probably $50 a month for food back when I was LEGIT poor as fuck in 2006-7. Buy a 10 lb. bag of rice and some season salt, brehs.

[Eel O'Brian]

Get butthurt and soapbox over a bunch of stupid vines, brehs

[Joe Molotov]

40 items off the Taco Bell Dollar Menu.

[StealthFan]

I live off about 40 too. 15 at the 99cent store and maybe 25 when my mom goes to Von's.

totinos tho?

[CatsCatsCats]

Totinos gave me E. coli once, there was recall I didn't know about. Most sick I've ever been.

Thing is when you're that sick and finally come around to making yourself some food, you might reach for something easy to throw in the oven....


My shit was literally just hot water at one point.

[CatsCatsCats]

You bet your ass I've eaten them since

[Kara]

totinos tho? (Image removed from quote.)

Some food is only food in the most technical sense of the term. (See also: Maruchan.)

I'd rather just drink booze for sustenance at that point.

Booze is all the food you need. Beer is practically bread.

Liquid bread, as the monks called it.
