Not so sully ALS-Ice-Bucket (which I do support only I'm not going to participate), but this is China being all kinds of wrong. :(

Twenty workers initiated a "Clothes-off Challenge" in Futian District, Shenzhen by wearing underwear, shorts or bikinis as an example of low-carbon usage, Net Ease News reports.

The employees of the unidentified company published photos online showing the half-naked bodies holding a board that reads: “Clothes-off Challenge to boycott Ice Bucket Challenge”.

I've been hearing a lot of people talk about bigger charities in a negative way. While there is obviously good and bad in everything, I don't find this model to be inherently bad. I saw a TED talk a couple years ago and I dug it up for a lil perspective.
