The Ice Bucket Challenge is a thing. If you have no clue what it is, don't feel too bad because that means you don't watch the Today Show or stop by KFOR.com late at night in search of blog material.
So, what is the Ice Bucket Challenge? If you're down for a good laugh, KFOR Social Media Bandit Bailey Woodrum took a break from rewriting adorable articles you'd never believe on Viral Nova to explain it:
The “Ice Bucket Challenge,” have you heard of it yet?
It seems like everyone is going it these days.
Even professional golfers like Rickie Fowler are doing it!
All are pouring buckets of ice water on themselves while challenging other people to do the same thing.
Here’s the catch; accept the challenge, or donate to charity.
NewsChannel 4′s Meg Alexander accepted the challenge.
I have a serious question. Is Jenni Carlson writing columns for KFOR.com under the pseudonym Bailey Woodrum? It would make sense. We have one sentence paragraphs, random references to Oklahoma State golfers and the awkward use of a semi-colon and exclamation point. I sure hope it's her. Revealing that Jenni Carlson doubles as the KFOR Social Media Bandit would be the greatest scoop in TLO history!
As Jenni...errr.... Bailey told us, Meg Alexander took the Ice Bucket Challenge. Now she knows how we all felt when we listened to her sing the national anthem. ZING!!!
Here's the video:
Oh, so that blurb by Bailey Woodrum was actually the transcript that Meg read on the air. Oops. Does that mean Jenni Carlson is Meg Alexander? Or, better yet, is Meg Alexander actually Jenni Carlson. There's only one way to find out--by reading Bob Barry Jr.s diary.
Anyway, here's a tweet that Meg sent about the experience:
The weirdest part about all this is that she challenged Mary Fallin, Bob Stoops, Mike Gundy and Linda Cavanaugh. Isn't that a little too ambitious? I doubt any of them will take the challenge. Bob and Mike prefer Gatorade, Linda Cavanaugh can't lift the bucket over her head and Mary Fallin would melt. Instead, Meg should have challenged Emily Sutton, Lacey Swope, Joleen Chaney and Erielle Reshef to do it all at once... on a stage... on Bourbon Street... wearing wet t-shirts...with me holding the ice buckets. I'd donate extra to their charity for that.
