"In a short commercial posted Friday, South Korean electronics giant Samsung subjected its water-resistant Galaxy S5 smartphone to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which the handset's S-Voice personal digital assistant called \"freezing\" before nominating Apple's iPhone 5s and other competitors to do the same.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=http://photos.appleinsider.com/gallery/10245-2381-Screen-Shot-2014-08-23-at-15813-AM-l.png alt=\"\" /&amp;gt;\r\n&amp;lt;span class=\"minor2 small gray\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nThe short, 15-second spot is voiced entirely by the Galaxy's British S-Voice variant. \"I am the Samsung Galaxy S5, this is my ice bucket challenge,\" it intones. \"Gosh that's freezing.\" \r\n\r\nSamsung has repeatedly touted the handset's waterproof housing when comparing it against Apple's iPhone. Apple has repeatedly been rumored to have a new waterproof option in the works, but it has yet to materialize in a shipping device.\r\n\r\nAs is the custom for the ice bucket challenge, Samsung will also make a donation to the British Motor Neurone Disease Association charity. One executive at Samsung UK's advertising agency, Cheil UK, &amp;lt;a href=\"http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/samsung-takes-ice-bucket-challenge/294675/\"&amp;gt;told&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;AdAge&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; that it was the \"perfect opportunity for the brand to do something that was meaningful but also unexpected.\"\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/6w4Gqt-ljb4?feature=player_embedded\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nThe ice bucket challenge has swept Silicon Valley recently, with a number of Apple executives taking part. Marketing czar Phil Schiller was &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/14/apples-phil-schiller-challenges-ceo-tim-cook-in-ice-bucket-challenge-to-raise-money-for-als-research\"&amp;gt;first&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to take the dousing, challenging -- among others -- CEO Tim Cook. \r\n\r\nCook was &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/14/apple-ceo-tim-cook-latest-to-get-ice-bath-for-als-charity\"&amp;gt;drenched&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; in the amphitheatre at the center of Apple headquarters in Cupertino. He nominated recent Apple addition Dr. Dre, who was &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/19/dr-dre-accepts-als-ice-bucket-challenge-nominates-fellow-rappers\"&amp;gt;soaked&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; last week."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
