I like to dump a bucket of water over my head to help raise "awareness" for Lou Gehrig's disease and not actually donating any money. I also like to record myself doing this and nominating my friends to also not donate money for a disease they don't know about. It lets all my family and friends know I am AGAINST ALS. It is what I like to do.

    I'm as cynical as everyone on this, but they've raised like $24 million through this challenge, so I'd guess a lot of people are dumping buckets and still donating.

    At least its semi entertaining seeing people's reactions. Much better than reading more pseudo Ferguson outrage.

    When was the last time anyone talked about ALS?

    Can't name it?

    Then this Bucket Challenge is doing it's job. Not only has it raised money, but it's also raised awareness, especially among people who don't give a fuck about rare and deadly diseases. In fact, it's so successful, you even made a post about it.

    Local news this morning had a piece on other charities being upset because the ice dump was so effective that they were worried it would stop people from donating to them.

    I just rolled my eyes.

    I saw Obama told Ethel Kennedy to pound sand and said he would give at the office.

    I like to donate to causes without being an attention whore about it.

    And Jesus praised the Pharisees for doing their giving in front of man for the praise of men. Surely you'll get extra rewards in heaven for that.

    I also still find it amazing that Lou Gehrig died of a disease that had his name. What are the odds?

    Lou Gehrig was the Phil Bleenor of deadly diseases.

    And then everybody retweeted him and shouted in unison: Jesus Christ has done it again!!!1
