I give money to charity on a regular basis I don't have to put myself on show to justify it.

It wasnt funny the first time and like you say, it's become tedious as f*ck now.

My kids asked if they could do it. I asked them to give money to charity instead of looking like a complete and utter 'look at me' whopper.

They looked at me dull

Until this thread I had no idea it was for charity. Just thought it was a load of people chucking water over themselves or a dare like that necknominate stuff...

Puts a different slant on it for sure....

I think that's the point that has been lost on half these bells though.

If you don't give to charity, the forfeit is to chuck water over your head.

I'd like to think that people are also donating, rather than just self-centering themselves abhorrently. At minimum, Shelvey and the celebrities would have been smart enough to make enormous donations?

This would have been much better as the 'piss bucket challenge.' Where's the forfeit in just having cold water poured over you? "I don't want to donate substantially to charity, so I'm going to take a shower?" Iesu. I can think of some places where this would be torturous, so I'll concede somewhat.

Another prime example of social media forcing people to try to prove they are worthy of being accepted and looking for public acceptance for their actions.

It is utterly utterly cringe worthy.

What on earth is wrong with just donating to a charity with some discretion and dignity?

While I agree it screams 'Look at me!', it has done an outstanding job in raising awareness for the disease and it has raised astonishing amounts of money for the charity which would not have been raised without this campaign.

It's certainly a lot better than the last viral challenge, 'Neck Nominate'.

I disagree. The amount of people I've seen doing it and not mentioning a thing about any charity donation whatsoever. This far outweighs anyone posting about the charity or indeed evidence they've donated.

I'd guess that, despite wishing for the opposite, most are doing it and not donating or giving a damn about the cause. But, surely that does not outweigh those who do, despite how egregious the majority are? ( http://www.alsa.org/news/media/press-releases/ice-bucket-challenge-0818.html)

My points were;

It's raised awareness of the disease

It's raised astonishing amounts of money

It's better than previous viral challenges

I fail to see what is there to disagree with. I understand you think it's stupid and most aren't donating - I do too, but it has raised awareness and it has raised millions despite many not donating. Worse 'challenges' will and have gone viral.

I thought it was for Cancer. The above link is for something I've never heard of. Most people I've seen do it do not mention a disease of any sort and therefore are not raising any awareness other than they are a bit of a cock.

Still each to their own and it's great that people have to pour something on their heads to donate, rather than just donating. All done for public gratification and faux generosity.

The most charitable people in the World are those that don't talk about it.

I never trust those that shout about it.

I feel like videoing myself handing over some cash to oxfam or someone, with me turning to camera announcing "See, you bunch of 'look at me c*nts' - that is how it's done! I nominate you all to to take a long hard f*cking look at yourselves, you throbbing great tw*ts!" and lashing that on facebook to see what the fallout would be.

But that would make me as bad as them wouldn't it?

Unfortunately it would.

One's much better to remain dignified over these matters.

I wonder who on here has done it?
