I don't need to be nominated to give to charity and I don't think people know exactly how much of their money goes on actual research.
Only 28% goes on research! and The CEO of the ALS ice bucket charity makes $339k / year from you.

Revenue from all sources for the fiscal year of The ALS Association ending January 31, 2014 was $29,102,318. Total expenditures for the fiscal year were $26,204,122

Here in the UK we call it Motor Neurone Disease, and we have our own charity to donate to: Helping us make a difference | Donate | MND Association

I was growing rather tired of the ice bucket thing until a rather well endowed friend posted a video on Facebook without realising quite how sheer the top she was wearing was

Friend me quick, before she realises :P

It does to me. I give money to charity because I want to, and I believe in what the charity is doing. I'm not going to be coerced into giving money to a charity because somebody has dumped cold water over their head and said my name. And if I do go along with it and nominate someone else and they decide to give to a charity that I actively disagree with, then in my eyes I've done more harm than good.

I'm with Patrick Stewart on this one.

Does it matter though?
