Bay Village, Ohio bullying incident

The incident where an autistic teen was pranked by bullies for a fake Ice Bucket Challenge should be on here. It made quite an impact! - Cineplex (talk) 11:34PM - June 7, 2020

It was, and it got taken down. See the archive. Romomusicfan (talk) 11:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the legendary Swearing Toddler Ice Bucket Challenge video

Oh go on, can we mention it in the article? Romomusicfan (talk) 11:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Election impartiality

one of only three videos included in the article is a video of the challenge being performed by announced 2024 United States Presidential Election Candidate Nikki Haley. Seems to me that more 2024 american presidential election candidates' videos should be included, or this one should be removed, in support of neutrality and impartiality Mattman00000 (talk) 05:58, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
