Right now millions of people are dying because they have no clean water, also you'd probably like a beer.

Hello. Like many millions of you, I have been nominated to do the Ice Bucket Challenge.

This challenge is a viral campaign trying to raise money and awareness for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or NAMBLA, as it is known.

I think by now we've all heard of ALS, but maybe don't know all that much about the disease itself. For example, did you know that each year 5,600 Americans are diagnosed with this horrible disease?

5,600 a year. That's not really a lot, is it? I mean, in the last two weeks 5,600 infants probably choked to death on all the discarded plastic grocery-store ice bags laying around after all these videos. I don't even know of anyone with ALS, except Stephen Hawking, and based on that dude, I'm pretty sure it gives you superpowers.

So, I am going to thankfully decline the ice bucket challenge, but issue a new challenge of my own, instead.

Right now 780,000,000 people lack access to the clean water. Annually 3,400,000 of them die as a result, and you have to imagine the ones that survive smell really, really bad.

If the cold disease-free water that has been dumped on heads in the name of charity over the last two weeks was instead shared with the nearly billion people on this planet who've never seen ice, many lives could have been saved.

But it's not too late, and that's why I am announcing the "Drink Beer, Then Save Millions of People, Because I'm a Fucking Hero" challenge.

How it works: Step 1. get a beer, drink it. You can nominate your friends to drink beer too, share videos of yourselves doing it. Make a game of it. Shoot bottle-rockets from your pee-holes while drinking the beer. Whatever. It literally does not matter. Then--after your buzz starts to kick in--Step 2. donate a few bucks to this charity. Isn't saving lives fun? You big hero, you.

The drinking beer part is actually totally optional. The donating cash step is doing the heavy lifting here, so don't forget that step. I really can't stress that enough.

On a more serious note, I am obviously kidding about ALS being no big deal. It is a horrible disease that my took my grandfather before I ever got to meet him. I hope a cure is found soon, and it's certainly nothing to laugh at. But, if I've offended you--and you have Advanced Stage ALS--I will let you punch me in the face as hard as you can. (I'm looking at you, Stephen Hawking)

So sit back, crack open a cold beer, fix one of the biggest problems currently facing humanity, and say "You're Fucking Welcome, World"
