$180k of BS bought online

A popular card game played a Black Friday shopping trick on 30,000 customers in an apparent effort to mock consumer culture.

Cards Against Humanity, which bills itself as "a card game for horrible people," removed the game from the online store on Nov. 28. 

Instead, the website said "To help you experience the ultimate savings on Cards Against Humanity this Black Friday, we’ve removed the game from our store, making it impossible to purchase."

The game which typically retails for $25 was replaced by 30,000 boxes of bovine excrement flogged at $6 per unit to Black Friday shoppers.

As those packages have been delivered, hilarity has ensued on Twitter and on the company's Tumblr blog.

Time magazine quoted co-creator Max Temkin as saying “We all really hate Black Friday, it’s just kind of a horrible day. It comes after this day where you’re supposed to be thankful for what you have, and then it’s just this whole huge media spectacle of people fighting each other to save $50 on a TV.”

Some shoppers have since turned to Ebay to try and flog their feces at a profit.

The best part is that consumers have no one to blame but themselves. The website clearly stated that the game was not available for purchase and that each of those 30,000 people would be purchasing bull crap. 

The 30,000 units apparently sold out in hours.

One Twitter user summed it up perfectly:
