Were you aware of what ALS was before the challenge popped up online? No. Are you now aware what ALS is? Yes.
Hence you are now aware.
However one could argue, there are different and possibly more effective ways to raise awareness, and by result money than doing the "Ice Bucket Challenge."

Exactly what I'm getting at. Talk isn't good enough in modern day society. Talk is awareness. Talk won't get us anywhere. Actions will always speak louder than words, as many have said time and time again.
It could also be argued that we are killing one dragon and feeding another. (Dragons representing problems, destroying the problem of ALS, but making the problem of people dying of unclean water worse)
