Hoss Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Well, GMTM got in on the challenge: http://youtu.be/VzuQlIvIWgo What are your thoughts on this trend? Have you done it? What's your favorite video so far? Edited August 22, 2014 by Spndnchz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Well, if GMTM's heart didn't give out there, he's gold — for at least another four to six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm waiting for the one person to have the massive heart attack. Then I'll watch that video go viral ... whatever that means. ... just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) So is it bucket of ice water or donate? I've read about the increase in donations to ALS but it seems like every yahoo I know on Facebook is just dumping water on themselves and saying nana nana boo boo and not donating ######. #hashbrown #photobomb Edited August 16, 2014 by inkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read about the increase in donations to ALS but it seems like every yahoo I know on Facebook is just dumping water on themselves and saying nana nana boo boo and not donating ######. #hashbrown #photobomb That's the basis of it, but I assume that many are doing both. One of my friends did a video announcing that he would donate and then nominated others. It's definitely producing HUGE donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanbe Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ryan Miller did this too and you'd think with a wife in the "industry" they would know how to use their phones for video. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Love the Buffalo Whiz Kid's Hockey Gloves. Also to answer Tank's Original Question. I have done it and donated money as well. Apparently since July 29th the ALS Foundation has raised 5.5 Million compared to 32K during the same time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm already sick of watching videos of people dumping water over their heads. ....yeah, I went there. (yes, I know it is for a good cause) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd posted this one in the Thursday thread originally (in response to d4rk's complaint), but Paul Bissonnette of the Coyotes went all-out with his: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd posted this one in the Thursday thread originally (in response to d4rk's complaint), but Paul Bissonnette of the Coyotes went all-out with his: He also made a donation. Most celebrities are doing the videos and then donating. I made my video today after being nominated by my brother. Nominated my girlfriend, three friends and OJ Simpson. Also nominated one of my friends who is being a royal douche about the whole video thing. Said that I would do a donation if he makes a video.

Doohickie Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) I was nominated today. I will not do it. I don't even plan on acknowledging the nomination. Edited August 18, 2014 by Neuvirths Glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So is it bucket of ice water or donate? I've read about the increase in donations to ALS but it seems like every yahoo I know on Facebook is just dumping water on themselves and saying nana nana boo boo and not donating ######. #hashbrown #photobomb The way i think it works and how i've done it was i pledged $20 when i got nominated. I did the challenge and nominated 3 people, when they do it, i will put in $20 per person who does it, if one of them bails, they owe $100.

inkman Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I mean I won't acknowledge the challenge to the person who challenged me. I appreciate this stance. I donate to several charities a year. I don't need my hand forced by some Internet fad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm okay with saying no and that you don't believe in the cause. I disagree, but I respect it. I'm okay with quietly donating or pledging to the cause. I can't stand those who feel like they're above it, and those who are insulting the ones participating. Those people are just losers sitting back doing nothing and scoffing at those having fun doing something. I do not give one ###### if it's an internet fad. If an internet fad can raise $6 million and make hundreds -- THOUSANDS (maybe even millions) -- more aware of such a horrible thing then ###### those who feel the need to insult it in any way.

drnkirishone Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 i predict in a few years it will simply be the ice bucket challenge and be like the cinnamon challenge and thous doing it will have no idea about ALS. the reason for doing it is already being drowned out by the meme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
