That's a good point about helping doesn't have to equal donating. Upon reflection, I would have to say a lot of my negative feelings/general annoyance probably stems from the fact that first people I saw doing the Ice Bucket Challenge were all classic slacktivists, who are all super active in the "leave your lights on for Caylee" / "post where you leave your purse for breast cancer awareness" (because then, tee hee, everyone will think you're talking about sex! Also see above post re:level of cancer awareness).
I'm glad this is working, and lots of donations are coming in. I will probably continue to be annoyed, though, because grumps gotta grump.
