Vince McMahon's is the best. CM Punk is the worst for the reason that most people have noted there wasn't any ice in his fucking bucket. More wrestlers are going to be doing this as the weeks go on, and the challenge for me is to see if there is anything as funny as Vince putting the bucket on his head.

Jake and DDP have gotten in on the fad

Can we avoid being cynical about something that is clearly positive, and comes from a nice place?

 

And, yes, 'that's brisk' was brilliant.

I think the only positive from a nice place the charity cares about is cash from their wallets.

 

I’ve never been a fan of these ‘fads’ or the shared posts you see on Facebook. If you care that deeply, donate, and urge others to too.

 

I’m not saying those who have done the challenge haven’t donated, but that part always plays a distant second to whatever the ‘challenge’ component is.

 

Dumping buckets of ice on your head is the type of thing you would do in your six weeks’ holidays from school, or at 3am when you’re steaming drunk and think it’s a good idea.

What's this for, and what does ALS mean? I must have missed the bandwagon on this - I just see a few knobs on Facebook doing it with no mention of a charity, or ice in their buckets for that matter - most people are just throwing water over their heads then nominating others to do it.

What we'd call Motor Neurone Disease.

 

Cool - good cause. Vince is the first person I've seen in 7+ days of this fad so far that has even mentioned any sort of charity or donation. It just seemed like another lame bandwagon up until now - like Neknominations & Planking & Harlem Shake.

But these things raise way more awareness than a general urging a mate to donate does. We have a laugh watching people do the challenges and in turn the charities have more donations. Win, win, unless you go down the tin foil route.

 

Yes. Raising awareness.

 

It only raises awareness if you remember to actually state why you’re chucking a bucket of ice over your head, which the very post before your’s illustrates that’s not always the case.

 

It’s like those breast cancer things on Facebook where girls post “six inches lol” and then have hoards of people going, “what you about? lol”. How can it raise awareness if you never bloody mention the charity’s name?
