Emily Anderson- people pay $100,000 to dig a pointless hole

     On this past Black Friday, the Cards Against Humanity creators decided to pull an odd stunt. This stunt was named the "Holiday Hole" and for a good reason too. They asked for donations from the online public, so they could dig a massive, pointless hole in the ground. The dig was live streamed the entire time with the location unknown. Cards Against Humanity said, "As long as money keeps coming in, we'll keep digging." This stunt was kept up until Sunday evening.
     Their 2015 Black Friday prank was almost as pointless as this one. Last year they asked people to donate "$5 for nothing", and people did. This year's Black Friday stunt relates to how the Patriots threw hundreds of boxes of tea over board in the Boston Tea Party. It shows how people can throw away money so easily except the Boston Tea Party was for a good cause. I find it very surprising that people would willingly give money for other people to do pointless things, but it's honestly pretty funny. Many other news stations have covered this story and all of them say how surprised they are at the amount of money they raised- $100,000.

  1. That seems like a really thoughtless way to spend money. If you are going to donate money, give it to a good cause, like charity, not a pointless hole.
