I like to

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

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.

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

This is just the fad of the day. People can't just fucking donate to charity, they have to get attention while doing it. Maybe the foundation received a donation spike, but it's a drop in the bucket (lol) and won't do really any measurable good. But hey, it's fun! and plays to the society of narcissus we have become. Did we ever #bringbackourgirls? Fuck no. But it was important to feign concern to look all compassionate and shit to friends and relatives.

Next week we will move on from ALS and Ferguson and have something else to grandstand and be outraged about.

There is now way Susan Komen is going to let this go on for much longer.

HIV, Breast Cancer, Leukemia, and Starvation don't like other charities moving in on their turf. I wonder which of these will be the first to declare war on ALS. Heaven forbid the Special Olympics get involved.

If you don't do the ice bucket challenge, you want everyone to get ALS.

"Lou Gehrig is up here with me. God love Lou Gehrig. Jesus Christ, poor Lou Gehrig. Died of Lou Gehrig's disease. How the hell did he not see that coming? You know. We used to tell him, Lou, there's a disease with your name all over it, pal!"
