'Cards Against Humanity' Bought A Piece Of The U.S. Border So Trump Can't Build His Wall
Cards Against Humanity's been known for its huge publicity stunts. Like when the company dug a giant hole to represent the bleakness of the 2016 election.
The company's latest stunt, however, might be its biggest yet. To make a point to Donald Trump (and gain some serious publicity) the game manufacturer reportedly decided to purchase a plot of land right along the U.S. border to try and stop Donald Trump from building the wall.
Cards Against Humanity is back with another Black Friday promotion. This year's prize? Saving America https://t.co/FBMp0twPpz
As part of this year's Black Friday promotion, "Cards Against Humanity Saves America" debuted with a press release directly aimed at Donald Trump in an attempt to foil one of his earliest campaign promises.
As per the company's official statement, the "Saves America" edition of the game comes with a few special goodies.
"Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans. He is so afraid that he wants to build a twenty-billion dollar wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing. So we've purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.
On Day 1, all Cards Against Humanity Saves America Recipients will get an illustrated map of the land, a certificate of our promise to fight the wall, some new cards, and a few other surprises."
People were smitten not only with the idea, but the promotional video associated with the special Black Friday edition of the game.
So @CAH bought some land on the US - Mexico border, hired a law firm that specializes in eminent domain, and is doling out that land to whoever buys in. Also: Ken Burns documentary voice over guy narrates the video. https://t.co/e4NHcmOtRk
Fans also were stunned about the amount of planning and thought that went into the company's idea.
Holy crap, I did not read the page well enough: They've actually purchased land along the border in TX, retained an eminent domain lawyer, and will use that to obstruct The Wall. Give them your damn money. https://t.co/shE8fCVrH4

I just gave $15 plus tax to @CAH because honestly at this point what could literally be worse than dying because our president called an insane person short and fat. https://t.co/Fuc48DGMGJ
It's pretty surprising, considering such scathing and righteous political moves are being made by a company that makes a game that's about being as vulgar, gross, and nihilistic as possible.
I wish all the brilliant stuff Cards Against Humanity does didn't come from the people who made Cards Against Humanity
