The "Ice Bucket Challenge" has been the latest viral trend on social media and in the news. Perhaps a million people have videoed themselves pouring icy water in their heads as an attention getting act to raise money and awareness for ALS. Contributions have increased tenfold, according to ALS charity groups.
Such a successful fad cannot be ignored by fundraisers of other worthy causes.
I've been thinking about ways other charities could hijack the idea and make it work for them. Here is a modest list. If you come up with other clever ideas write them as comments and maybe I'll publish them:
Shoot yourself in the Foot Challenge for Psoriasis
Show us your Tits for Breast Cancer
Group Moon challenge for hemorrhoids
Competitive bug eating for the Morbidly Obese
Shark baiting for Erectile Dysfunction
Playing "Chicken" on the railroad tracks for Deafness
Tasering for Tourettes
