Good shout... I wanna nominate about 10 ppl
I get that. I was nominated yesterday and, not wishing to be an old stick in the mud, got drenched this morning. However, I didn't nominate. Let people do it if they want to but I'm not going to make them.

It's genius! It's a bit of harmless fun that is positively capitalising on the narcissistic mentality of the social media generation!
I'd happily have my feed clogged up with fools throwing half a cup of tap water over their head, and missing, all day long, than the brainless, unoriginal, premeditated, desperate, attention seeking selfie taking idiots!
I did it personally because I was dared to, simple as that, it connects with everyone on so many different levels and is ultimately motivating the vast majority of us to get off our boring, over opinionated, high and mighty, fat arses and do some good, in turn then motivating others to do the same, and so on, and so on...
It's raising bucket loads of cash and raising awareness for a wildly unknown cause, there is NOTHING bad about that, and anyone that thinks otherwise is a ****.

I think this ice bucket challenge concept should be developed to 'surprise' bucket dumping. It would be much more fun to surprise your partner, family, friends, work colleague, even random people in the street. Of course it should be the person doing the surprise that should donate to charity to ensure everyone's goodwill in the participation of the challenge.

It would appear that the real purpose of dumping a bucket of ice water on your head is so you can feel superior to those who don't and make statements like those don't do it haven't got any friends to challenge them.
