Thank Drew Carey: Police in Bay Village, Ohio, say they've found the godawful pricks who doused an autistic teenager in urine, feces, and cigarette butts after convincing him to take the ice bucket challenge.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was a singular phenomenon that swept up celebrities and normals alike with its combination of altruism and gale force peer pressure. It raised so many millions that the ALSA doesn't know how to spend them all. And it's also, we can all agree, over.
Police are investigating after a group of teens in Bay Village, Ohio, allegedly tricked an autistic 15-year-old into creating an ice bucket challenge video, then dousing him with urine, feces, spit, and cigarette butts.
The two-year-old responsible for the most adorable ice bucket challenge video yet has finally been brought to justice for her egregious cussing.
In the course of raising $88.5 million and counting to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the Ice Bucket Challenge pretty much ran out of real-world celebrities to drench, so now animated regular schlubs are getting in on it. Here's Homer Simpson's contribution.
We have seen have seen more ice buckets dropped on heads than we care to remember. We have seen superheroes and wanted criminals, former presidents and wisdom teeth patients who are obviously faking it. Today, we see a marvelously sassy British(?) toddler hop up and yell "fookin' 'ell!" as soon as she's doused.
If you had to imagine the platonic form of a failed ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, it would probably involve a guy in camo cargo pants and an American flag vest, waving an even bigger confederate flag, who sets his own hair on fire.
Jesean Morris was wanted by police in Omaha for violating the terms of his parole. They found him after someone saw his video for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge—the dousing that has captured the nation's attention and clicks—on Facebook and reported him.
50 Cent just found another gear in his ongoing, transcendent Instagram trolling of his former BFF, boxing champ Floyd Mayweather. After offering to donate $750,000 to any charity if Mayweather could read a page of Harry Potter, 50 has upped the ante by arranging for him to do it on national television.
Four fighters were shocked by a power line helping students at Campbellsville University perform the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The firefighters were spraying the school's marching band on a campus athletic field when they were shocked, with two severely injured.
50 Cent used the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to troll his former friend, boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, with a contest of a different nature. Fuck a bucket of ice and $100: 50 will donate $750,000 to any charity if Mayweather can read an entire page of a Harry Potter book.
You don't have to be fully aware of what you're doing to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Do it an hour after getting your wisdom teeth out, while you're still high on anesthetic? Still counts, even if you can't remember which good cause you're supporting. Even if you don't have a bucket.
Sure, cynics can argue that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a faddish, self-promoting waste of water, and people shouldn't need a stupid meme to convince them to fight life-threatening diseases. They can also bite their damn tongues, because that stupid meme has raised more than $20 million for people like Anthony…
The Ice Bucket Challenge, America's favorite (wasteful) viral water dumping campaign to raise money for ALS research, can now include a former president amongst the soaked.
The Ice Bucket Challenge, last week's popular phenomenon where humanity collectively pledged not to fight Lou Gehrig's Disease until we see some goddamn ice water drenching some celebrities' heads, goddamnit, was all worth it for this Amy Schumer video.
The ice bucket challenge, it should be clear by now, is not about charity so much as showing your social network how charitable and fun-loving you are. And what accomplishes that more fully than donning a superhero outfit and tasering yourself into a kiddie pool?
