Ice Bucket Challenge: Has vanity taken over a good cause?
Ice Bucket Challenge: Has vanity taken over a good cause?
Cristiano Ronaldo takes the ice bucket challenge
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was originally a small fad that was started to help raise money for a worthwhile charitable cause, although now the scheme has been used for other charities and some even suspect many have not donated at all despite taking up the challenge. The question is, with so many celebrities stripping down and uploading a video as soon as possible, has the Ice Bucket Challenged turned more into something which you upload to Instagram for likes off girls or does it retain it's original meaning?
Does it actually matter if people are being vain if it is still raising money for a worthwhile cause? Has the fad gone on too long now? Was Patrick Stewart right to make a subtle punch as his fellow celebrities when he simply wrote out a cheque?
