Nominated in the same breath as Rutledge Wood. Pretty impressive.

(I still don't get the point of the ice bucket challenge.)

Me either, but in a pervy way I didn't mind seeing buckets of water dumped over Ralph...

Glad I'm not famous enough to get ice bucket challenged... don't you have to donate to charity to do that? Because uh... I make good money but not celebrity charity challenge good money lol

So that you will not be "one-upped" by JG, perhaps your version should be done while wearing white cotton.

I originally heard that you donate or take the ice water bucket. But will all of these celebrities taking the bucket and then calling out three more people it seems no one is giving to the charity. So is everyone doing both?

I think the premise is that you donate ten bucks if you dump ice on yourself, or a hundred if you wimp out.

Hey JG:

Lesley, 1(ish) word. Band-aids.

Yeah, the original point of these challenges was that if you DIDN'T donate you had to do the challenge. Celebs want to get attention when donating money, so they just changed it. As long as money is being generated for a worthy cause, I could care less what the rules are.

Helpful hint for anyone that is doing this and doesn't have another person to dump the water. Measure twice dump once. The first time I dumped 10 gallons of water down the back of my pants, then the second time I hit my self in the top of the head with a wheelbarrow.

Or, you could just donate and really make a difference.

I like that. Film it with a big ice water bucket next to you with a straw and take a couple of sips during the video. Then just donate.

But that would require actually doing something.

In reply to Sky_Render:

Which is funny, because carrying a bucket of ice water seems like it would be far more effort than clicking the paypal button.

You don't agree that there is validity in raising awareness for the cause?
