If you look into the ALS charity itself, you will see that it's not actually a good cause to give to actually, not a lot goes on research and they test on animals and they offer bad advice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Approximately 27% goes on research and there is NO evidence they test on animals outside the NIH guidelines.

I have been nominated three times, in not doing it though.

Yes 7% is what goes to charity. It's awful to be honest. They've raised about 25mill though

I know two people who had family that died from mnd and they both said it makes them so pleased when they see the videos and are ecstatic the focus is on ALS at the moment. Over 30 million pound has been raised as a result... . Take that into account before nonchalantly dismissing it as a load of Facebook nonsense.

Also I did donate my $10 because I'm not a mug.

People always get over critical over things like this, it's raising money for a charity with a good cause, stop being so cynical.

How many people have paid the money charity 2-3% at most but all of them like posting the video of them selfs doing it!

Remember it's £10 if you do it £100 if you don't

I don't give to charity and I probably consume as much as you so I'm not claiming some moral high ground. I just won't pretend I'm doing something righteous by pouring water on myself because its trending, ironically probably enough water to save peoples lives the very same thing you claim to be doing.

I thought it was charity. £100 to not pour a bucket of ice over your head? That has nothing to do with charity and all to do with bullying.
I am not doing it and I am definitely not paying £100 not to do it.

Rules
Within 24 hours of being challenged, participants have to record a video of themselves in continuous footage. First, they are to announce their acceptance of the challenge followed by pouring ice into a bucket of water. Then, the bucket is to be lifted and poured over the participant's head. Then the participant can call out a challenge to other people.

Whether people choose to donate, perform the challenge, or do both varies. In one version of the challenge, the participant is expected to donate $10 if they have poured the ice water over their head or donate $100 if they have not.[24] In another version, dumping the ice water over the participant's head is done in lieu of any donation, which has led to some criticisms of the challenge being a form of "slacktivism".[25] Individual videos have included the participant saying that they will be making a donation along with performing the challenge.
