Cards Against Humanity’s Holiday Hole

Capitalism will find a way to profit by meeting even the most obscure need. For example, even nihilists sometimes feel an urge to make contributions. Cards Against Humanity meets the needs of those who consider donating to the ACLU or the Democrat Party just a little too nihilistic:

The project began at 1 p.m. on [Black Friday, November 25], when Cards Against Humanity, the “party game for horrible people,” began soliciting donations to dig a hole somewhere in the U.S. for no reason. …

Cards Against Humanity is broadcasting the dig live on holidayhole.com, as well as a running tally of donations. The majority of donors seem to have chipped in just $5 for the hole, though several donated more than $1,000. In total, the campaign raised more than $100,000 so far and the company says it plans to continue as long as money is coming in.

Looks like this project has been wrapped up, with a grand total of $100,573 thrown in the hole.

This isn’t the first holiday stunt that the company has pulled. Last year, it made $71,145 after it asked people to send $5 each for no reason, while in 2014, it sold bull feces to 30,000 people and turned a profit of $180,000.

Buy stock in Cards Against Humanity if the company goes public. People are in the mood to buy what it has to sell.
