Ice Bucket Challenge

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a meme and one of the latest trends currently festering every social networking site on the internet. The point of the challenge is to waste ice-cold water by dumping it on somebody's head for literal shock value. When presented with the challenge, you either participate in it, or donate $100 to ALS research.

It was created to raise awareness for some illness that nobody suffers from and nobody has ever heard of. Likewise, nobody is interested in hearing about the disease, as they only care about seeing their favorite idol increase their chances to catch pneumonia, or some idiot kid accidentally get nailed in the head by a tractor or bucket full of water.

It's worth noting that more people have died from this challenge than people who actually die from the disease it aims to save your life from.

(( $100 OR PNEUMONIA ))
