Well, it's just a crazy scheme to get as many people to donate as possible. For this to be done, I'm thinking they thought up some random craze they hoped everyone would love (it worked). In this case, anyone who pours the perfectly good water over their own head "has" to donate and then nominate a few others to do it, who will subsequently donate, too. It's just a shame that people forget the donating part, they just want to fit into modern society by drenching themselves needlessly.

Side note: one of the people involved in getting this ice-bucket challenge up and running died a few days ago in a drowning incident! :/
