Yup.  Imagine that, some dumb ****in conspiracy website posting false shit to fraudulently grab attention.

I noticed there weren't a lot of members posting their videos for various reasons. Here is mine. I did indeed donate $25. To ALSA.org and I know several people that donated as well that were motivated by these videos. When My wife was still working ALSA was one of the charities that she was able to donate to through payroll deduction. There are thousands of videos out there which were done with the best intentions. I think the money raised and awareness raised far outweighs the attention seekers that didn't donate. My message is pure. Feel free to watch or ignore. Your choice.

Ok how do I get my video to post. I thought I had it but apparently not.

I worked the ALS booth at the orange street fair. We had some good feedback and some negative.

The ALS OC chapter said they are so overwhelmed with donations. Before the Ice Bucket phenomenon they literally had to beg people to help donate and volunteer for their events. They said they couldn't even get returned calls about sponsorships for their annual walk. Now they're getting all this big companies and people trying to attach their name to ALS. She said the attention is very welcoming but it's been absolutely hectic the last 2 months.

What the lady said from the OC chapter that the ALS national chapter and OC chapter said is that they haven't touched any donations yet. They said if you write down on your check or online donation where you want your donation to go to they will get it there.

We will be at the annual ALS walk at the OC Great Park November 8th

My first question is why was she wearing water wings to sit on a bench? The goggles were marginal but I could partially see that.

The more people that are aware of the disease the more people are likely to donate for a cure.

it's a two-parter. the als ice bucket challenge followed by the plastic surgeon visit to repair the massive self-inflicted head wound.

The one that struck me was the idiot who poured an ice bucket over his ten-month-old granddaughter - which the father didn't know had happened until the grandfather posted it on his Facebook page.

Then there is the moron in Belgium who decided that it would be really cool to have a firefighting plane pass low overhead and dump 400 gallons of water on him from an altitude of less than 25 feet. He is in critical condition at a hospital.
