One of the most annoying fads ever tbh, if you are going to donate then do it without making a big song and dance about it.

agreed. I'm sick of seeing it all over the internet everywhere I go.

I agree with Josy. It's just a fad that'll die out in a few weeks, it's not exactly going to raise much money in the long-term. There are ways of donating and promoting without pouring a bucket over your head and pressuring others into doing the same. If I want to donate money I'll do it, like Josy said, there's no need to make a huge song and dance about it.

It's raised over $40m in the last couple of weeks. Fad or not, it's effective and only a positive thing.

Yeah of course it's positive atm, what about when the fad dies out? do you honestly think all these people are going to keep donating to the cause?

I disagree that it's only a positive thing in the long run tbh..

What about when people start getting hurt or experience bad reactions just like the neknoms?

What about all the water that's being wasted for these challenges?

It's a fad that will die when something else comes along and takes it's place.

I already donate to charities and won't be doing the ice water challenge just because 'everyone else is'.

It's completely a positive thing in the long run, the charity have said they've raised many many times more money then they ever expected to raise ever. The fad will die out but they have an incredible amount to work with for now and the future.

The water lost is the equivalent to a shower... that doesn't make a noticeable subtraction to the tens of millions raised.

We'd all love to donate to every charity all the time but it's simply not realistic. This gives a specific incentive especially for those who are oblivious to the charity in the first place.

Ultimately it's only a good thing.

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.

I definitely don't think it's a bad thing for the charities for now, the donations won't continue from the biggest majority though.

on youtube? facebook? shes banned now isnt she?

It's a beautiful thing. More money has been raised with it than without it. That's the bottom line. It's a trend that will only grow and become more and more refined and powerful.

Even if charity wasn't involved and it was just a viral meme it's still hilarious, still makes people happy, and still comes under fire from the type of people that don't seem to realize that social media is a perfectly adequate platform for trivial ****.

Some people become too reliant on their online life as an outlet for TMI but as a larger argument there's a bizarre subset of creatures out there would would only have you use Facebook to announce new arrivals and family deaths.
