Unless they;ve sworn off social media for the last few months, pretty much everyone is familiar with the “ice bucket challenge” — people dare their friends to either pour a bucket of ice water on their heads or donate $100 to the ALS Foundation. While a lot of money has been raised to find a cure for this life-ending disease, most of the people taking part in this are just doing it for fun, and don’t donate. It’s definitely a good thing to bring more awareness to ALS, but unless people are sending money, it doesn’t do much to help fight it.
Enter Patrick Stewart.
With a pen, a bucket of ice and what appears to be a bottle of good scotch, he accomplishes more in this minute-long video than pretty much anyone else who has done the challenge.
