And this is exactly why I won't do it. I think we all know about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and if all the viral-video-sharers are doing their job correctly, we all know what ALS -is- from that slacktivist effort. (Note, that's not always happening. Some are doing it right, others are just doing it for the likes. Not cool at all.)

Just make a donation, and try to spread actual information about the disease and how to help through your FB/Twitter channels. It's a much better use of your time and resources.

(On a side note, your comment made me think: What do y'all think Dean would say about this colossal waste of water? Considering his biggest project is to bring clean water to those who don't have it. Yes, shameless plug for Slingshot, I don't care. Go see it if you can.)
