Am I supposed to donate $10 even though I dumped ice water on my head?

I've seen 2 sets of rules. The first one is that once you've been nominated, if you do the challenge you only donate $10, if you don't do the challenge you donate $100.

In the other set, if you do the challenge you donate nothing, if you don't do the challenge you donate something.

Either way, all the people that are doing the challenge are just tight asses.

But they're raising awareness.

But they're raising awareness.

Of course, just like #kony2012.

i thought everyone was donating $100 now anyway

[tommymtcom]

how much money do I have to donate to stop the constant stream of videos of people dumping water on their heads on my facebook stream?

[Kaius]

How long do you think this aquatic annoyance will last?

[tommymtcom]

Probably until someone with a heart condition does it and has a fatal heart attack.

By all accounts, Ashlee Steele was her husband’s biggest advocate and love of his life, serving as manager of his effort to raise nearly $75,000 to cover medical expenses associated with his recently diagnosed ALS.

Authorities say her husband, retired Dane County Sheriff’s deputy Andrew P. Steele, shot and killed 39-year-old Ashlee Steele and her sister, Kacee M. Tollefsbol, 38, of Lake Elmo, Minn., on Friday in their Fitchburg home.

Andrew Steele, 39, was arrested Friday.

A woman who answered the phone at the home of the women’s family members in St. Marys Point Sunday night said that the family still was sorting through the events and had no comment.

Fitchburg police were called to the couple’s home in the 3000 block of Yarmouth Greenway Drive about 12:15 p.m. Friday. They found one woman dead. The other later died at the hospital. Police also found Steele inside the home. He was hospitalized for his injuries. Police wouldn’t say whether the injuries were self-inflicted.

No charges had been filed against him as of Sunday and officials have not discussed any suspected motive. The Dane County medical examiner ruled the deaths homicides.

I guess this means this whole thing has officially jumped the shark.

Yeah, it was the very definition of American class right up until the Simpsons got involved.

My post was intended more as a jab at the quality of The Simpsons than a commentary on the ice thing or America in general.

[tommymtcom]

Until a few days ago I thought this was about Lou Gehrig s disease.
