Deadmau5 took to twitter yesterday to announce his contribution of $10,000 to ALS instead of dumping a bucket of ice on his head. Despite a huge Facebook trend of both average Joe’s and multi-millionaire celebrities participating in the ice bucket challenge, an increasing number of people have decided to donate rather than posting said video.
Who knew dumping buckets of ice cured Lou Gehrig’s disease. And all this time, i thought stupid things like “research” helped…

…so on that note, i’ll be donating 10k to Lou Gehrig’s disease research while the rest of the circus does fuck all.

Kudos to Deadmau5 for taking real action to fight Lou Gehrig’s disease.
You can watch Martin Garrix, Tiesto and Calvin Harris dump ice on their head by clicking on their respective names.
