Alireine Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Like this quote! I see that on Twitter many fans are asking Mika to take part to this ASL Ice Bucket Challenge. I have very mixed feeling about this campain and would prefer him not to take part in it, as it's now really too mediatic imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't challenge people by nagging someone you don't know on Twitter. You are supposed to take the challenge yourself, challenge your friends and DONATE MONEY. I have very mixed feeling about this campain and would prefer him not to take part in it, as it's now really too mediatic imo. Not sure what mediatic means but yeah I have mixed feelings about it too because my dad had ALS. Some of the videos have been great and informing people what it's about. Others (I'm looking at you Bieber) are just an attention seeking ploy with no mention of fundraising or the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to say that for most (famous) people, important is unfortunately to draw attention to themselves and not to ALS. So we agree on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I am thinking of doing it, and introducing it with a short history of the organisations from both sides of the Atlantic, and links to donate money to, and then do the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, what's highlighted in red is the drill! S0, you do it yourself, after being nominated, and then nominate someone else to do it.

RAK1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Hm, it's okay to give money for good things but in my eyes that ice bucket thing is stupid and rubbish:doh: Well it was started by an ALS sufferer and his friend, so I guess there was a reason behind it. I just found this on Facebook, thanks to Caroline, who is an MFCer, who isn't on here much. But THIS is probably the BEST ice bucket challenge of them all, and you MUST watch til the end to get why most people are doing this. http://sun-gazing.com/this-is-the-last-ice-bucket-challenge-you-need-to-see-trust-me-this-one-is-different/ Edited August 20, 2014 by RAK1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington, D.C. (August 20, 2014) — 'As of Wednesday, August 20, The ALS Association has received $31.5 million in donations compared to $1.9 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 20). These donations have come from existing donors and 637,527 new donors to The Association.' Participants seem to be enjoying the heck out of the associated antics. Edited August 20, 2014 by A.

mellody Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Our president and Conchita Wurst refused to do it But, of course, they donated... Yeah, isn't it the deal that if you don't do the ice bucket thing, you have to donate 100$? Think that would help the good cause more than people pouring ice water over their heads. meanwhile it's all over the media anyway, so whether one celeb more or less does it, probably doesn't make a difference. I think Mika might just donate instead of doing the ice water thing. Btw, how will he know about this? If he's buried in the studio again, Fedez will have to call him in person, and even then I'm not sure whether he'll know it within 24 hours.

Christine Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well he's accepted now. Let's hope it doesn't go the way of posting his holiday pics. Mellody the people who do the challenge are also supposed to donate anyway (suggested minimum of $10). And they nominate 4 other people. So it keeps growing exponentially and one person doing the ice bucket challenge is going to generate far more than $100 as long as everyone does what they are supposed to. It doesn't have to be a celebrity creating a lot of publicity. Even if regular people do it should generate donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zia Giovi Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm not sure this campaign will raise real awareness about ALS and of course I don't know if Mika will take part to it, but the tweet should come from him in person because it contains a spelling mistake Anyway this ice bucket thing cannot not do wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emelyne412 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I don't know why, but I thing that Mika will participate at Ice Bucket Challenge. He's very implicated on differents associations... His promise will be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy_Queen Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 All these last days I was wondering if Mika would be enrolled in this flashmob And now - he is! Can't wait. Hope his promise is more reliable than the promise to post photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
