What exactly is ice bucket challenge?

[Mar+in]

It doesn't say you have to put ice cold water just "ice water". Does that mean ice + hot water count ?

[Azza ☠]

Get someone to pour a bucket of cold water + ice over you, while you chug down a beer... guaranteed to give you a heart attack. So they removed the heavy drinking part of it after someone died from it...

"Willis Tepania, a 40-year-old father from Kaitaia, took the "ice challenge" on Saturday night. He is believed to have then consumed a large quantity of Jim Beam bourbon in a matter of minutes. It is believed Mr Tepania fell asleep soon after his challenge. Five hours later he suffered a cardiac arrest."

To respond to the title: another abomination to post on Facebook (AMEN for saying that infected site name, I need to go to church and prey) and get likes (because of course, likes keep you healthy and warm, who could say otherwise, no?)
It's just the new trend, like Gangnam Style, Harlem Shake were..
It will soon get forgotten because another mind abomination pops up.
I respect people that don't do it just to appear on Internet or to be ''cool''.
Hope they get what they deserve = a NICE cold right before they were planning to go to beach.
Happy Holiday Ice Bucketters, get likes from hospital..

wtf? Isnt it for ALS Research. Im pretty sure your refering to some other challange, or someone who is doing it for a completely different reason.

The Ice bucket challange is for raising money for ALS Research, and has gone completely viral, whether or not people are following the original rules or not.
The idea is if you are nominated, you do it and donate 10$ or whatever much to the ALS research. Then you nominate 3 more people.

And litterally everyone and their grandma has done it, although much fewer have actually donated stuff.


There was that "Ice Challange" that was somewhat popular not too long ago where teens would jump into a freezing lake for 30 seconds or something. Not for any reason though, just a challange like the cinnamon challange.

EDIT: Realized I quoted the wrong person. You know who I was responding to.

It was for charity, in which he raised over $9k for his son... the video went viral before it was destoryed and the guy unfortunately died that same night. R.I.P.

Wouldn't be ice water anymore, or at least by the time you tip it over your head.

The "challenge" has raised plenty of money and publicity for ALS, so it's no bad thing.

Well, anyone who wants to donate would donate regardless and anyone who doesn't want to, simply won't donate or attempt it.

Also the potential risks are very real.

Those who partook in it possibly donated the money as well, so it probably had more to do with awareness than anything else. Most participants appear to be younger, richer people in good health, so that could offset some of the risks of doing it.

Still could have gone for something safer instead.

True, but Fork_Q isn't complaining when Daisy Lowe or Anna Kendricks gets wet for charity

You can't get pneumonia from cold water.

Yeah, it's viral infection but crap like this may well weaken your organism and make you more suspectible for that. It's sure not good for your lungs if you dont dry yourself out immediately.
