"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

People at work tried to explain this to me. I just cant figure it out. Someone tells you to donate money to something, so you dump water on yourself instead? Why would anyone post videos of themselves risking hypothermia just to not give sick people some money? What?

A rather unfortunate logger indeed.
someone who i know from a class in undergrad posted a video of his sister doing the challenge

he's a furry guy who is into anime, ran the school j-pop radio channel and in general just hits a lot of the checkboxes you would expect from a guy like that so i clicked the link thinking like "dear god what is his sister going to look like?"

but ill be goddamned if she wasnt smoking loving hot (until the bucket was dumped :getin:)

never judge a book by her anime loving furry brother

I expect dumping ice water on your head to be as effective in the treatment of ALS as the local charity that ride bicycles up a mountain to "beat cancer" (then they spent most of the money collected on management fees and "awareness"*).

everyone i know who watches vines is white as poo poo

then again, even the black people i know are white as poo poo so maybe that's not a good sample set to draw conclusions from

this is cool because of all the snark like 'UGH how does this benefit ALS' even though this has probably driven a sh`tload of donations, and it's fun to watch a bunch of celebrities humble themselves on camera (except those who bitch out)

Doing the ice bucket & only donating $10 is bitching out imo. Donating $100 is what a grown up is supposed to do. Like half the people in my FB feed doing the challenge seem to be forgetting the donating money part though.

my favorite part of this challenge is how many posts on my facebook go:

"Hey guys I don't have any money to donate so here's my ice bucket challenge!"

technically, if you dump the water on yourself aren't you absolved of the requirement to donate money?

that is ostensibly the point of the challenge, but its a pretty lovely thing to do if you have any kind of comfortable life/financial setup

why not do both? better yet, why not make a post saying that you donated X dollars and challenge your friends to match you rather than wasting time making the youtubes

no the point is to both dump a bucket on your head and donate. and posting how much you donate is dick move
