This article focuses on the popularity of the ice bucket challenge. It has officially hit 1 bn viewers on google. People have concluded that this has been searched more than the harlem shake dance back in 2013.Claire Stapleton and Kevin Allocca claimed that “Ice Bucket” videos have been posted on YouTube from more than 150 countries,US charity The ALS Association has so far received $110.5m in donationsfrom the challenge, which involves people pouring buckets of iced water over their heads, then nominating others to follow suit and/or donate.

in my opinion, I think that the ice bucket challenge has become international as everyone is doing. Its a good thing that an act for charity was able to become really famous, so I'm guessing charities have been receiving a lot of money.
