I laughed at Wayne Rooney's attempt, he dropped the bucket on Coleen's head.

No Tel, it involves you tipping a bucket of ice and water over your head.
Its suposed to be in the name of chairty of some kind but I dont see how it helps anyone.

It helps because when you get nominated you then do the challenge, make a donation and nominate other people to do it (in turn causing other people to 'have to' make a donation and nominate others, causing a snowball effect of donations). Can be to any charity not only macmillans

Think about it, what sticks i your mind more, a soppy advert on tv about some poor sod who has to walk 200 miles a day for a cup of water or pouring a bucket of ice water over your head or in fact watchig others do it? Carry on I say it hasn't harmed anyone (yet) and it's for a good cause crack on!!

I have not seen any mention of charity in any of the videos I have seen though.
Your right it has snowballed but i think its lost its purpose and become a viral thing to do.

Like planking or something....

It's meant to be for Alzheimers and George Bush has done it now and nominated Bill Clinton haha

I thought I was a miserable grumpy git but it seems I am a joyous ray of light .Come on if 100000 did it and charities got £40 does it matter it's still £40 more than they would have got and if you watch the compilation of people doing it some do make you smile

I thought it was for Cancer, But proves my point nobody actually knows why they are doing it LOL

Dont get me wrong, I believe in charities and I have given small amounts on a regular basis to various charities but some things are just pointless.

 

[dingledong]

It is for all charities it's just something silly to give them a bit of money
I think your taking Tony's place grumpy git
