So as some of you may have seen onenerdykid has nominated jossi wells to do the ice bucket challenge. i was thinking it would be pretty cool if some of ns got Nominated. Who here would like to see bishop or some of the other ns regulars do the challenge. And what other pros would be cool. I'd love to see henrik do it but those dreds would probably protect him pretty well Still be cool to see.

It'd be cooler if they donated to support ALS instead of dumping a bucket of ice on their heads.

Why I everyone comaining about this? I be a week ago most people had not even heard of the foundation. Coming up with a creative way to get the message ou there is important and this is doing it really well, it is every where at the moment. if you don't like it fine but don't try to stop others from donating and helping.

It's like the Toyota commercials before the videos. Okay, it was fine at first, they're just advertising, but now it's too much.

How do you know if someone donated to ALS research? They'll tell you.

you can't compare an advert to something getting a good cause out to the people. I forget ns is full of hipsters sometimes who are too cool for anything the general public are into. I'm honestly amazed anyone would bad mouth a good cause.

Part of accepting the challenge IS donating. For every person you nominate, you donate $10 to the cause. I nominated 3 people, so I donated $30 to alsa.org

It's a fun way to help spread the word, donate some money to a good cause, and involve your friends at the same time. Good stuff!

Ah, my bad. All of my friends that have done it didn't donate, so I wasn't aware that was a part of it.
