Do y'all think this is a joke?? I mean, that is a lot of breast milk if that's what it really is!
-
@lawbee11: must be a joke - where would you even get that much BM from and for those that pump (ed) would you ever WASTE BM??? no way!!
-
It has to be a joke! She's a huge breast feeding advocate, I couldn't imagine her actually wasting that much milk!!!
-
i think that has to be a joke! that's sooo much milk and i cant see any breastfeeding/pumping mom purposefully wasting that much! i cried when i spilled 5 oz!
-
Surely she is kidding, right?? She just got a bunch of press for breastfeeding so maybe thats the thought behind it.
-
OMG why would anyone waste that? I really hope that is just a bad joke. Seriously if you have that much extra bm, donate it!
ETA: though I don't know what would be worse.. doing an ice bucket challenge in CA during a horrible drought, or wasting a huge bucket of bm D:
-
And her point is, what?
-
@jetsa: your right - its probably a play on the breastfeeding pics that she posted
-
haha. um.
Well, I think it's probably a joke. She did say "took me all night to make this" and I think she would, literally, have been up all night making that....
IF it's real... um. weird. haha!
-
It wasn't really breast milk: https://mobile.twitter.com/oliviawilde/status/503593080948543488
-
Either way it seems kind of weird to me... why can't she find water?
-
@night cheese: haha oh good.
-
She already came out and said it wasnt actually breastmilk.
I find it obnoxious anyway.
-
I guess she's conserving water? Thank goodness it wasn't real BM!
-
haha i immediately thought it was a joke and i actually think it was cute! i mean, all of these people are dumping ice water on their heads and patting themselves on the back for doing something for charity...at least she's making a joke out of it, and also pushing her breastfeeding cause.
of course, i hope she donated and didn't just dump milk on her head.
-
@Pirouette: Well, the point is that you're either supposed to dump water on your head and donate $25 or not dump water on your head and donate $100.
-
@night cheese: Oh my. Some of the comments in there are super creepy! HAHA.
-
I figured it wasn't BM since there's no possible way to collect that much at a moment's notice, OR waste her whole stash...
-
@looch: oh i know - i just meant i hope people are following through with donating as well and not just doing the social media part of the challenge.
-
@Pirouette: I just think it's in poor form that she used someone's journey with a debilitating disease to be a lactivist.
I also think that most people that participate in the challenge at first didn't realize they were supposed to donate, lol.
-
I found her video to be weird. Is she trying to fake brag that she has all that bm to waste? Attention seeker!
-
@loveisstrange: me too.
-
@loveisstrange: Yep, she tries way too hard at everything. This is no different.
-
@looch: well i'll admit i have no idea who she is (out of the loop much?!) i can see what you mean - i guess i didn't really see it that way because a lot of the videos i've seen have involved people basically just showing off or making a huge joke out of themselves. I haven't seen many people actually linking it to the debilitating disease. so this is no different. while there are certainly people who have taken this seriously, for the most part, the actual ice bucket challenge (not the donation part) seems in the social media herd to be more about attention than having anything actually to do with ALS, so i wasn't rubbed the wrong way by her specifically. i was really just amused at her joking about being up all night making all that milk because it reminded me of when i was engorged in the hospital
