Cards Against Humanity Buys Land To Block Trump's Border Wall

CHICAGO, IL — Cards Against Humanity, the Chicago-based maker of the "party game for horrible people," said it's doing its part to fight President Trump's planned Mexican border wall. The company created a website, cardsagainsthumanitysavesamerica.com, to let fans know they've purchased a plot of land along the border in an effort to block the wall.

In a promotion that sold out in less than a day, customers were invited to donate $15 to the cause in exchange for "six America-saving surprises (sent) right to your doorstep." Cards Against Humanity said there were 150,000 slots available for the promotion.

In a post titled, "Cards Against Humanity Stops The Wall," the company outlined its plan:

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.

Cards Against Humanity announced the promotion Tuesday, tweeting, "The government is being run by a toilet. We have no choice... we are going to save America and attempt to keep our brand relevant in 2017."

The company got a lot of feedback both positive and negative.

"Great way to alienate half of your customers," one former fan tweeted. Other customers were disappointed they missed out on the promotion. "I am so very sad I missed the chance to help save America. Any chance you’ll do more???," one wrote.

In response to customers who complained about the company's political stance, Cards Against Humanity made a profane addition to its FAQs.

"I don't like that you're getting political. Why don't you just stick to card games?" one question reads. The company's reply: "Why don’t you stick to seeing how many Hot Wheels cars you can fit up your a*****e?"

It's not the first time the company has gotten political. In September 2016, it funded an anti-Trump billboard near O'Hare airport. And in March, Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin threatened to "buy the browser history of every congressman and congressional aide and publish it" if an FCC rule barring internet service providers from collecting, storing, sharing and selling customers' personal information was repealed.
