Ice Bucket Challenge is getting out of control...

I really like that it raise money for a great cause and it raised awareness but it is getting to the point where it is becoming a fad or a cool thing to do on you tube rather than what it is really all about. Asked some young kids the other day what was the reason and purpose of this challenge. They thought it was a cool thing to do. They didn't realize they should donate money to a worthy cause

The challenge has raised awareness (with those with above average IQ's) and has brought in more than $50,000,000 to the ALS Association.

So, yeah you're right, there are a lot of knuckleheads that are just doing it for the "look at me" factor but it's still been an overwhelming success.
