The Ice bucket challenge

[Tricky]

I was hoping to avoid this current trend, but I was nominated by a friend and it's for a good cause so thought I'd have a go. I figured if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well, so here's mine So have any other members done this, and have you the videos to laugh at?

RESPECT Im sat here waiting for my turn. It's inevitable. Fantastic viral idea though and for "CHARITY"

Haha! Watched some guy do this in a pub beer garden on Tuesday. But the levels Tricky went to were super-heroic!!!

i avoid social media and stuff like this like the plague, so i'm a bit burnt out on all this ice bucket challenge crap. it's almost impossible to watch the news or go through a single day without hearing something about it, whether it be the celeb of the moment or a large group of college kids doing it all at once, etc. however, as annoying as this fad is, it has produced one of the funniest videos i've seen in a couple years:

Oh Prof, that was amazing. Okay, so my sister did it and I filmed it. It's not that funny or anything, so I won't post a link but yeah. You bet your ass if I had more than five dollars to my name I'd donate, but ice water? No thanks. Also too trend-some.

Still think there's some merit in the suggestion people should need a license to reproduce!

I find that so sad - The language that child uses! Still think there's some merit in the suggestion people should need a license to reproduce! Honestly mate, I live pretty close to the scousers, if I was a scouser myself, I'd be cringing at the language from such a small child.

But it was cute... and funny. Because it was unexpected. And maybe she has good parents who reprimanded her for the use of such language after the video ends. We just don't know.

[ProfessorChaos]

actually, there is a follow-up video that has the mother and the kid, and the mother makes her apologize and stresses that it's a bad word. i'm sure the little kid doesn't talk like that on a daily basis or even realizes how horrible it is for her to say that.

[babomb]

It's extortion. Being pressured into donating isn't really donating. Expect to see more of this.

Well, she didn't lick it off the stones anyway.
