In no way I'm against raising funds for the ALS; but I simply don't understand the stupidity in wasting huge amounts of water just for the heck of it. If you really care about ALS, donate $100 to the guys and girls working on fighting ALS.

But for heaven's sake, stop wasting water! This picture says it all -

#-Link-Snipped-# I third second first your thought. The Ice water bucket challenge is good but it wastes water. Instead, check this DESI #-Link-Snipped-#. 😀

I totally agree with the fact that the concept is insane - No environmental cost taken into consideration by whoever started it. Nature's fury is something we want to keep ourself away from... but I have just one query - Without the craziness surrounding the idea of Ice Bucket Challenge - Would ALS/donation for it/awareness about it ever have gone so viral?

PS: I think we should have such crazy viral concepts for Planting Trees or Donating rice like Issue said above. Why don't these concepts go viral?
Everybody from Bill Gates to Zuckerberg and Sonakshi Sinha to Charlie Sheen participated in less than 24 hours. Such FAST response time is the need of the hour on SO many problems in India.

#-Link-Snipped-#: Or else, do it at the beach with some chilled 'Ocean' water. Simple.☕ Akshay Kumar (the actor) did it likewise.👍

It may be pointless and wastage of water, but this meme has delivered something. Numbers show that donations on ALS skyrocketed after this went viral.

and considering the pic in OP, I can make argument that there are millions of Indians dying of hunger, then why spend money on ISRO/Mars missions.

I agree that it's pure waste of money. Discussion: <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/indias-mars-mission-is-a-waste-of-money-resources-time-talent-agree-disagree.71453">India's Mars Mission Is A Waste Of Money, Resources, Time & Talent - Agree / Disagree?</a>

time to play devils advocate 😛 but will participate in that thread later

now honestly answer me these two questions:
1. Did you know about ALS before this?
2. Have you donated money to ALS orgs before this?

I didnt. And I still do not know anything more than it being some deadly disease. All the attention has been taken up by people pouring water on their head.
