6 Movie Characters Who Should Have Accepted The Ice Bucket Challenge

6. The Wicked Witch Of The West

The Wizard of Oz may have come out a long time ago, but the intervening years have produced few characters as likely to make children yearn for a return to the warmth and safety of their mothers€™ wombs as the Wicked Witch of the West. Enemy of PETA, goth fashion icon and Pink Floyd groupie, the Wicked Witch proved that green isn€™t always good. In one of cinema€™s most unforgettable climaxes, the Wicked Witch demonstrated, once again, that hers was not just a clever nickname when she gleefully set fire to the hapless Scarecrow (be honest €“ you were siding with her on this one). Unfortunately for her, as Dorothy came to the rescue and tossed a bucket of water over her cretinous companion, the Witch copped some friendly fire and promptly melted, crying out "I€™m melting" over and over for the benefit of visually impaired cinemagoers. All of which prompts two questions: 1) if water is such a problem for her, why exactly does she have buckets of the stuff lying around her lair? and 2) what does she do when one of her pointy fingers goes through the toilet paper and turns a bit brown? Why she should accept the challenge: If carefully executed, the Witch could conceivably survive the Ice Bucket Challenge via the wide brim of her rather fetching hat. In any case, she€™d be well advised to make her nominations beforehand, and in the event of disaster, at least her cries of "Oh, what a world" would take on even greater poignancy and the degree of her self-sacrifice easily separate her efforts from the Biebers of this world. And, on the plus side, she already has the bucket.
