So this means that Shermie is the first fighter to have no eyes to begin with? She is truly a hero to those who didn't have the ability to see. Although, I dunno if SNK confirmed this.

PREFACE: This is going to sound callous, and I accept that.I wish this effort and money was going to something that actually needs research funding or we were closer to understanding than we were 70 years ago when Lou Gehrig made it "famous".
now that's fucknig stupid if you actually donate it's no slacktivism. hell even if you don't donate but get someone else to donate (which is a way to take this challenge) is nto slacktivism, it does not compare at all to "like" campaigns.
I've seen half a dozen ice bucket challenge videos and I still don't really know what this fad's about (some disease awareness thingie?) I know I could google "ice bucket challenge", but that would defeat the point of this post, wouldn't it?
i don't know if mgbenz's post was about the ice bucket challenge or slacktivism in general. recording a video of yourself dumping cold water on yourself is a lot more effort than clicking like or retweeting #kony2012
its to raise money and awareness for als researchyou either dump a bucket of ice water on your head or donate 100 dollars within 24 hours of when you are nominated. then you nominate 3 other people. a lot of people who choose the ice water also end up donating, and celebrities who do it have thrown down some serious cash.its a really good example of a succesful viral campaign, its raised tons of money and awareness, its not slacktivism
i thought the idea of the whole bucket thing was some weird attempt at a viral video somehow, but apparently the effects of the ice water is supposed to be a brief simulation on what the disease feels like, so that makes a lot more sense in hindsight
At least is for a really good cause so I cant be mad about it. It may look dumb to me instead of straight up donating but it has been a succesful trend to raise awareness so it is fine.I really hope some celebrities this provided some serious amount of cash though.

If we're not any closer to understanding it, then how does it not need the extra research funding?
it was originally just a fad challenge akin to the fire challenge and snow challenge bullshit (which are both very dangerous you dumb fucks what the fuck is wrong with you), but rich people got behind it and such and facebook famous people as well so now it's a big thing and bow there's a cause behind the stupidity but more power to you if it helps people but people are still immolating themselves with the fire challenge and literally freezing their dicks off by doing the snow challenge naked and eating chips that they lit on fire and forcefully pressing on each other's lungs until they pass out and die god i love darwinism
If anything, that challenge actually made me aware of the disease and made me donate to the cause.The challenge may be a fad, may be becoming annoying and what not, but it is fulfilling it's purpose. It made people aware and caused people to donate to research.
it's already made it to both local and national television in my country; some guy in the radio actually jumped inside a pool full of ice.
