http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/cards-against-humanity-got-30000-people-buy-actual-shit-6-box-black-friday-161973


So Cards Against Humanity ran a black friday special where for $6 they sent a box of bullshit to 30,000 people. The sale sold out in 2 hours and people are starting to receive their boxes.

Here is an unboxing by someone who got a box of bullshit.

If I worked for Cards Against Humanity I would 100% shit on a plate, put it in dehydrator, and then send my shit to someone. I bet they'd totally break it open and stuff... I bet that its someones fetish

If they only made 6k off of 30k cards that sold for $6/ea., then it's only $.20 per pack, and if you think it cost them $5.80 to make a box of BULLSHIT, well, I don't know what to tell you....but i sure as fuck don't believe it. Smells like bullshit to me....

obviously, but it's not like each box contained 10 lbs of bullshit. we're talking like 3 oz of bullshit. so that's roughly 2,500 kilos of bullshit total which is roughly just under 3 tons. you can purchase a ton of manure for $22-40 per ton plus shipping (according to quick google search)....

so yeah, of their $180k gross, they spent $120 on shit. call it $200-$300 with delivery....

still calling bullshit....

it's only a lot of effort if you're a complete fucking moron. otherwise it's a 5 second google search and 8 seconds of math that you should be able to do in your head.

They have to go get bullshit, divide it up in the boxes. Pay somebody to put bullshit in said boxes and send them out.

Honestly I care so little about this issue that if you want to pull out your big internet detective magnifying glass you go and do that. I'm just going to move on with my life. Let me know if you or Sherlock Holmes uncover the truth.

You need to find a hobby. Also they aren't just shipping out a ton to one person. Somebody has to divide that up and box it.

Either you haven't skied yet this year or you have some anger problems if this has you riled up.

Watch a ski movie or something

that's funny coming from a guy with over THIRTY THOUSAND posts on an internet forum.

i ain't even mad though....i'm laughing at the stupidity of both the people who bought a box of shit, and you for actually believing their whole $6k profit donated to charity bullshit PR statement.

they got the real laughs though....all the way to the fucking bank.

This is epic. It's not like they lied about what they were selling. They honestly said a box of bullshit and that is what you received.

wait, so you being gullible and wrong makes me mad and/or dumb? ha, whatever you say man.

at any rate...

I wonder if anyone will try and bring suit against the company for this one for misrepresentation or something. i'm no lawyer or anything, but i could see someone making a claim that "a box of bullshit" isn't the same thing as "a box of bull shit", etc.

but seriously, that's freaking awesome that they pulled it off. I hope to see boxes of bull shit at every white elephant gift exchange I go to this year.

No... I think the many disclaimers on their website cleared this up.
