A Palestinian journalist created his own take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by dumping a bucket of sand, rocks and debris onto his head on Saturday in an effort to bring awareness to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza.

In his video of the challenge, Ayman al Aloul, who is based in Gaza, said that water is too valuable to waste and too difficult to freeze, so he used what was readily available: shrapnel, rocks, sand, and other debris.

A Facebook page has also been created where supporters of the challenge can join the campaign and post their own Rubble Bucket Challenge videos.

    Bravo…More challenges like this!
    That ice water thing is driving me crazy as a cheap means for the heartless to fake concern. A bucket of concrete chunks, broken glass and sharp metal bits dumped on, say, Paul Ryan or the Today show gang would be more emotionally satisfying while raising charity money…

  2. Brilliant.

    Wait until Buckethead Hannity sees this. Oh, my.

  3. How about these ice-bucket ass-hats challenging each other to stand under a fully loaded Chevy Suburban hoisted by and subsequently dropped from a heavy crane. Now that would impress me.

    [Impact Force from a Falling Object: The dynamic energy in a falling object at the impact moment can be expressed as E = m g h  (4) where g = acceleration of gravitation (9.81 m/s^2, 32.17405 ft/s^2) h = falling height (m) The equation can be combined with the equation of work as F = m g h / s]

    We distort, you deride…next, on Hannity!"
