Ice Bucket Challenge

I hate our culture. Any idiot thing becomes cool because you are "doing it for charity".

He's just pissed because he didn't think to link tackling criminals to charity.

Well, it's a good way to get girls in white shirts wet. It's all for charity, baby.

It has also been a good way to get a lot of men shirtless/naked.

Ok this is more fun. Ian McKellan is going to do the IBC and has challenged Derek Jacobi and Anthony Hopkins to do the same. Expect one of the geezers to kick the bucket.

Kentucky firefighter critical after ice bucket challenge mishap

(Reuters) - A Kentucky firefighter was in critical condition Friday, a day after he and three others were injured when an aerial ladder got too close to a power line when their department doused a university band with water in an "ice bucket" fundraiser.

Captain Tony Grider, 41, and firefighter Simon Quinn, 22, from the Campbellsville Fire Department sustained electrocution injuries Thursday morning in a ladder bucket and two other firefighters were hurt coming to their aid, officials said.

Grider was listed in critical condition Friday at University of Louisville Hospital and Quinn as stable, the hospital said.

They were shocked as they were brought down in the bucket after pouring water on the Campbellsville University band in the "ice bucket" challenge to raise funds to fight Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Campbellsville police said in a statement.

"Preliminary investigation information suggests they crossed the 'electric energy thresh hold' of an overhead power line, causing an 'electric arc' to strike both firemen," police said.

Two other firefighters were treated for lesser injuries after electrical current traveled down the extended ladder when they went to help Grider and Quinn, police said.

Campbellsville University held a prayer vigil Thursday night for the firefighters.

Would you eat tiny burritos for charity?  Would you unseat a hamster for the title? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOCtdw9FG-s

I'm getting tired of seeing these things nonstop in my Facebook feed, especially from people who I know have no intention of making a donation and are just attention whoring.

I'm getting tired of seeing these things nonstop in my Facebook feed, especially from people who I know have no intention of making a donation and are just attention whoring.

My old students in Georgia keep doing it. I'm pretty sure they aren't making donations and they use tiny little buckets to boot.
