Lets compare donations before this bucket thing and after. Then decide. If donations raised then probably not pointless. And I am sure they are higher by 100s of percents at least. So my conclusion would be not pointless :)

Plus now everybody know about it. It may be stupid, but its not like people aren't wasting their time on stupid things anyway. Reality TV, Bieber etc.

I always hear things like 97% of the charity goes to charity organizers (eg "salaries" and stuff) and only 3% goes to the cause.
That is why I am reluctant to donate, instead I directly help somebody from time to time.

I read that its something like 21 million raised just since this was started in July and that it was over 3 million more than the raised in the whole last year..

It does bring in the money. If you hate this, Get ready for some copies. You know they are coming.

My ideas - "ball lick challenge" for testicular cancer or "pierced nipple challenge" for breast cancer.

It has to be more creative:

"Suck a Sack" Challenge, or "Shave a Sack" Challenge

"Nip Slip" Challenge, or "Titty Twister" Challenge

Ice Brief Or Ice Bra challenge.

Where the branding experts at?

Yet you said:

So basically, it's only lining the pockets of the organizers even more.

When i read a few months ago the salary the people who run 'Save The Children' it was sickening. And they awarded themselves a huge pay rise not so long ago. So basically, any more raised has to first pay them such ridiculous amounts...

generally it's 40-80%.. however there is lists of legit charities that have something like a 20% admin rate, what is considered 'acceptable'

if it's some form of medical research, it's almost always a scam

Now it should be donate to concussion research after all these morons drop buckets on their heads!

50 Buckets.

Damn, it has been made private :(
