Ha ha ho ho hee hee!
After all, this is a world that thinks Kim Kardashian is beautiful.
This is a world that thinks Jay-Z is another John Lennon.
This is a world where "50 Shades of Grey" is a best seller.
So why shouldn't people happily stand and either dump a bucket of ice on themselves, or have others do it for them?
Including Internet geniuses like...Bill Gates? It's...a CHALLENGE...
I've been seeing this infantile crap on TV and all over the Intershit. The childish new host of "The Tonight Show," Jimmy Fallon, happily did it. Brrrr! Cold! Ha ha ha!
The fat-ass coach of the New York Jets (or was it the Giants) did it, and had his whole team do it, too. Ha ha ha!
The obese and grotesque governor of New Jersey, Crisco Chris Christie did it. Weeeee hee hee wooo hooo!
In very, very small letters...the "point" of this stupidity is raise awareness of Lou Gherig's disease. Except nobody knows who the fuck Lou Gherig is. A more recent New York Yankee, Catfish Hunter, suffered this horrific illness...but nobody knows who HE is, either.
There's a guy in an obscure forum that has a wine-drinking Brit, a hillbilly, and a retarded bearded twat-brain living near Nashville...he can't post anymore 'cause HE has it. Guess what, all the money raised by this ice bucket shit isn't going to help his condition one bit.
The talk is that this stupid "ice bucket" nonsense has 'gone viral.' And people are being "challenged" all the time. One publicity-seeking "Celebrity" does it, then challenges another publicity-seeking celebrity. WIN-WIN.
As you've read, the happy people who are PAID to work for ALS, say that they've raised four time the usual amount of money. Very nice. But that's spit in the ocean, really. You can raise a billion dollars...it doesn't mean a cure can be found. Or a new deadly disease won't take its place, in this extremely sick world.
But what's disgusting about this particular amusement is that the STUNT is cynical...not me. This isn't about the horror of Lou Gherig's disease, where your body slowly atrophies and mummifies you while you're alive...to the point where you can't even feed yourself.
It's all about the celebrities. Most of them don't even tell you what kind of check they wrote. A thousand bucks? Ten? Most of 'em just say "I did it, now YOU do it, Ryan Seacrest..." The amount of money is second to LOOK AT ME.
And isn't it WORTH the publicity? Jimmy Fallon made sure to tell everyone well in advance, LOOK AT ME...IN A FEW NIGHTS...I'LL BE DUMPING A BUCKET OF WATER ON MY HEAD...
Did you notice in that article, the AMOUNT OF MONEY Mr. Bill Gates pledged? No. I didn't either.
NOTICE IT MENTIONED IN THIS FRONT PAGE ARTICLE?
Waaaa! Oprah, the great Oprah! Whoaaaaaa, Kerry Washington, the latest "ooh, she's awfully pretty for a Negress." Weeeaahhh...whatever other bunch of publicity-hungry shits...
"It's for a worthy cause" is in small, small letters. The names of these publicity whores is BIG.
And for what? Is YOUR idea of entertainment watching some pin-headed celebrity giggle and get soaked by a bucket of water?
How about Oprah getting punched in the face? Give an extra $50,000 for every tooth that gets knocked out.
How about Kerry Washington getting hit with a bucket of shit?
NOW you're talking.
So far BILL GATES has gotten the most publicity, because he MADE A YOUTUBE VIDEO, and ooooh, it was HILARIOUS, how he designed the contraption that would pour cold water on his head, and then pulled the string! Ha ha woo hoo!
Then he calls out...Ryan Fucking Seacrest of all people?
We're all supposed to now think that Bill Gates is Mr. Comedy, and a great guy because of this stunt? And in small print...he did it for some charity or other nobody even remembers, and we have no idea how much money he donated...
It's La-La-Land all right...privileged idiots pushing the publicity button for other privileged idiots...with NO mention of what minimum amount they're supposed to contribute. The message here is GO DUMP WATER ON YOUR HEAD and if you're very well known, or you do it in a bizarre fucking way, YOU GET PUBLICITY.
I think I'd be less disgusted if there was something remotely humorous about this. Dumping a bucket of water on your head? Something done to the point of cliche any time a sports team wins anything? Uh, no. This hokey shit is done all the time (in America at least). Win any kind of "championship" or advance a round in a playoff, and dopey grinning assholes sneak up and dump a bucket of cold water on you. Har har.
How about the challenge of taking an IQ test and passing it? How about taking the challenge of losing 10 pounds? Of being in shape enough to run a mile? How about performing a free concert in a park rather than taking the easy way out and dumping water on yourself?
Stupid, stupid, stupid. The "Ice Bucket Challenge" is just a cheap, brainless publicity stunt and not remotely entertaining. Hopefully if four million bucks was raised, "Administrative costs" won't take away 3.9 million of it. I've seen creeps run charities where they pay themselves first. About the only positive thing I can note is that this IS a decent charity...and it's not involving AIDS which is usually what show biz turd-heads think of when it comes to a "worthy" cause. If it doesn't involve gays being able to fuck each other in the ass without getting nothing but herpes or gonnorrhea, well, woo hoo.
Somebody, put a bucket of water over the head of the next reporter who has to scream and screech about what BILL GATES just did...or some other publicity-seeking piece of shit. What happened to the days when celebrities gave money anonymously? Or in this case, told everyone exactly how much money they were giving?
