Hey, guys! So recently I did the Ice Bucket Challenge
-
on my second channel, Higa TV.
-
And I'm sure all of you know by now, but for those of you that don't,
-
it's a charitable challenge where you either donate $100 to an ALS charity,
-
or you dump a bucket of ice cold water on your head
-
and you donate $10 instead.
-
And basically, in my video, I did the Ice Bucket Challenge
-
and I donated the $100, plus whatever that video earns
-
is going to be going to the ALS Association.
-
So if you can't afford to donate the $100 or the $10,
-
you can actually just go and view that video and, technically,
-
I think you'd be donating a cent, or a fraction of a cent or something.
-
But anyway, as always, people in this world love to find the negative
-
in everything, especially when it becomes popular.
-
It happens all the time.
-
Once something becomes really popular, people have a tendency
-
to just hate it all of a sudden.
-
Think about it:
-
Remember when planking first came out and it was the coolest,
-
funniest thing you could do, and then, all of a sudden,
-
everybody else started doing it, and it became the lamest thing ever.
-
Or like Justin Bieber. When he was a little kid on YouTube,
-
everyone thought he was the most talented, cutest little kid ever,
-
but once he got signed and made it big, he had more haters than anyone.
-
Now he's kinda generating his own haters because of his actions,
-
but initially it wasn't his fault.
-
Or even when we all used to pee on each other for fun,
-
and then R. Kelly did, and then it was no longer cool anymore,
-
so that's why we stopped, right?
-
That's-That's why we stopped doing that, right?
-
Basically, these people love things when a few people know about them,
-
but once they become popular, it switches.
-
Now, come on. What kind of person does that sound like to you?
-
Get it?
-
I'm stirring...my hips.
-
Hipster. (Bad jokes with Ryan!)
-
Sorry. Back to the topic!
-
In my mind, the Ice Bucket Challenge was, and still is, a positive thing,
-
yet now that it's catching on, it's like the worst thing you can do right now.
-
These people are saying things like:
-
People are only doing this for attention now.
-
Uhh, yeah, that's kinda the point. To gain attention, to raise awareness.
-
Who cares if they're doing it for attention?
-
They're still contributing to the viral trend more than you have!
-
I'm not gonna lie. If I didn't see so many of my friends do it,
-
and so many of you didn't tag me, I would have never known what it was.
-
I didn't even know what ALS was until I heard about this challenge.
-
Yeah, so it might be something stupid to do, but it did bring awareness.
-
People who do the Ice Bucket Challenge are greedy
-
because they don't want to donate $100.
-
Well, first, let me ask all the people who are saying things like this:
-
How much did you donate?
-
What have you done for an ALS charity? What have you done for any charity?
-
I mean, if you donated $100 or more, you have every right to say that.
-
But keep in mind that not everyone who does this challenge
-
is as fortunate enough as you to be able to donate that much.
-
And honestly, sometimes, by doing the Ice Bucket Challenge,
-
you're actually donating more than $100 because of
-
all the awareness and attention it brings.
-
Technically, if one of these videos get a million views,
-
that's like a TV show commercial.
-
Do you even know how much those cost?!
-
I don't know, but I'm sure it's at least in the thousands,
-
which is a very generous donation!
-
People shouldn't be doing this because the Ice Bucket Challenge
-
is a waste of water. Meanwhile, in Africa...
-
This is probably the biggest and most legit argument
-
that people have with this challenge.
-
And, yeah, I'm not even gonna argue here.
-
You DO waste water in this challenge.
-
But if you're fortunate enough to have a computer, or have internet access,
-
and you're able to watch these videos, I'm pretty sure
-
that you've wasted water before and it wasn't even for charity.
-
I'm 99% sure that every single person watching this video,
-
and myself, are able to waste a little bit of water every single day,
-
and we do it whether we want to or not.
-
But don't pretend like you grew up in a third world country
-
and you've never wasted food, water, or anything before.
-
If you're complaining about wasting a little water for charity,
-
then you'd better be peeing and pooping in your shower
-
every single night, because flushing a toilet wastes way more water
-
than the Ice Bucket Challenge, and that's not even for charity!
-
But yeah, no, wasting water for your comfort
-
is much more important than charity.
-
In fact, if you're that concerned over water,
-
you shouldn't even be showering every single night.
-
We should only be showering when you absolutely have to,
-
or if you're really sweaty.
-
And, also, you'd better be getting dirty and sweaty by accident,
-
from natural causes, because--guess what--
-
if you're working out, you're also wasting water.
-
You're burning unnecessary calories, which causes your body heat
-
to rise, and because of homeostasis, you start to sweat.
-
And because of that sweat, you get thirsty.
-
And because you get thirsty, now you have to drink water.
-
That's your fault.
-
So for all you lazy people out there that don't work out, thank you...
-
for saving the planet.
-
And, also, for all the people wondering why the Ice Bucket Challenge?
-
Why did this challenge start with ice water instead of just donating?
-
The sad truth is nobody would've watched, let alone share a video,
-
of someone just donating, and trying to raise awareness,
-
by talking about it.
-
The Ice Bucket Challenge is what made it share-able. It made it a trend.
-
It was taking those other challenge videos that people just watch
-
for entertainment purposes, and making it charitable.
-
That's right. Again, for charity!
-
Nobody got mad about the waste of cinnamon for the Cinnamon Challenge.
-
Third world countries need spices too!
-
With all that being said, to anyone who's actually done
-
the Ice Bucket Challenge and donated, despite all the negativity
-
you might be getting now, I still believe this is a wonderful trend
-
and a great cause, and thank you so much for doing it
-
and continuing to spread this campaign.
-
I still support it 100%.
-
If you're in a place that's in a drought, or someplace that water is scarce,
-
I completely understand your concern for saving water.
-
But rather than hating in the comments section,
-
which does nothing but bring negativity, why not just find a solution?
-
Or compromise.
-
I mean, there's still ways you can do the challenge without wasting water.
-
My friend Jeremy Lin just did it by throwing himself into the ocean.
-
And if you're still really that concerned over saving a bucket of water,
-
I'm going to help you out right now by starting this new campaign
-
called the #SaveWaterPeeInTheShower campaign.
-
Every single time you have to pee, you pee right into the drain
-
of your shower, but you don't wash it down until the end of the night
-
when you take a shower, so it all washes together at once.
-
That's three to four flushes a day you'll be saving,
-
depending on how much you pee.
-
Or I suppose you could do it the other way around and pee
-
into a toilet all day, and then when you finally flush it at the end of the night,
-
you just get in there and start washing yourself.
-
There's a lot of different solutions.
-
So rather than just spreading negativity around the Ice Bucket Challenge,
-
let's be positive.
-
Let us find a solution together and keep it growing.
-
Let us save water together.
-
Let us spread positivity together.
-
Let us pee in the shower together!
-
Lettuce!!
-
That way, we can do both.
-
Continue to raise funds and awareness for ALS, and save water
-
in the grossest way together.
-
This message was brought to you by
-
the #SaveWaterPeeInTheShower association.
-
I've got it! What if we combined the two, and pee into a bucket
-
all day and then do the Pee Bucket Challenge
-
and pour it all over--
-
That is disgusting, R. Kelly. Nobody wants to do that.
-
I mean, we're not doing it. Right, Biebs?
-
Man, I've been peeing in buckets before it was cool.
-
TEE HEE!
-
So thank you guys again so much for watching.
