Cards Against Humanity buys land on Mexican border to stump Trump's wall plan

[TheCount]

(CNN)Cards Against Humanity, an irreverent card game company known for its attention-seeking pranks, says it bought land on the U.S.-Mexico border to block President Trump from building his wall.

The Chicago company said on its website that this was part of a holiday promotion, for which customers could contribute to the wall-blocking project with $15 purchases for surprise gift packages.
On Wednesday morning, just a few hours after the launching the program on Tuesday, Cards Against Humanity said it was sold out.

"Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans," said Cards Against Humanity on its web site. "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."

Do you have a strategy in this game?

Yes. Release your sick and dirty mind.

This is literally the best game ever. You don't even care if you win or not because it's so much fun.

So,

1. Slow the construction of the boondoggle

2. Shine light on the fact that the building of said boondoggle will require the feds to steal land from Americans

3. And do it all by peaceful means, in the marketplace, outside of politics

Bravo

I might actually donate.

Step 1: Come up with random cheeky surprises to mail to people.

Step 2: Get people to pay $15 for said surprises.

Step 3: Profit.

This isn’t the first time that Cards Against Humanity has given away land to its fans.

In 2014, the company purchased a tiny island in Maine, dubbed it “Hawaii 2” and gave away one-square-foot plots to those who signed up for its “Ten Days of Whatever of Kwanzaa” holiday campaign.

That year, it also sent real poop to people who paid $6 for its Black Friday mail campaign.

Its promotions aren’t always so irreverent. In 2015, Cards Against Humanity released a science-themed expansion pack to benefit women in STEM fields. And for a holiday campaign that year, “Eight Sensible Gifts of Hannukah,” people received several pairs of socks and a year-long membership to WBEZ, Chicago’s public radio station. The company also paid for workers at its printing factory in China to go on a week of vacation.

Last year, weeks after the presidential election, Cards Against Humanity skipped the mail surprises and instead dug a “holiday hole” with people’s contributions.

“Where is the hole?” the website for that campaign asked. “America. And in our hearts.”

On its website, the company explained its decision to resurrect the mail surprises for 2017, despite previously declaring that 2015 would be the last year for such a promotion.

“We’re liars,” the FAQ read, “just like the president.”

So it's an awesome company as well. Cool. Well, I guess that's not a surprise with such a cool game.

Yep, most of the land being seized in TX for the wall Mexico's definitely paying for is privately owned, lots of it for generations, and the money people receive for their land is completely arbitrary of course.
