VAIN ,NARCISSISM MASKED AS ALTRUISM Is About Right Look At Me Everyone I Am Throwing A Bucket Of Water Over My Head So I Do Not Donate To Charity. How Can People Not See This Is ABSOLUTE FOOLISHNESS ? The idea is to dump a bucket of ice water over your head and “nominate” others to do the same, as a way of promoting awareness about ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s disease). If you don’t accept the challenge, you have to donate $100 to an ALS association of your choice. It’s like a game of Would-You-Rather involving the entire internet where, appallingly, most Americans would rather dump ice water on their head than donate to charity. There are a lot of things wrong with the Ice Bucket Challenge, but most the annoying is that its basically narcissism masked as altruism. By the time the summer heat cools off and ice water no longer feels refreshing, people will have completely forgotten about ALS. It’s trendy to pretend that we care, but eventually, those trends fade away. vice/read/dumping-a-bucket-of-ice-on-your-head-does-not-make-you-a-philanthropist-813
