How would it have gone viral? and how would we all know about it it? without the challenge. We have the luxury now that it has gone viral to not do the challenge and critique it. If people hadn't done it and posted all over social media, I wouldnt know about ALS. Simple as that.


As for what you and Cory are bringing up about water waste: I get that its slightly irresponsible to dump a bucket of water on yourself. Use a cup full of water... its the sentiment and participation that matter. Most places in the US aren't in a drought.

Comparing a bucket of water in New York to a bucket of water in Africa is just plain silly... i dont see that as a valid comparison at all.
