Cards Against Humanity is known for unique stunts around this time of year.

In years past, in an effort to combat Black Friday, they've had people send them $5 and literally sent nothing in return. Just like they said they would.

They've also mailed people poop in a box. 30,000 bought it.

They've even raised $100,000 to dig a giant hole in the ground.

This year, they're taking on The President.

The company says they've bought a plot of vacant land on the border of the United States and Mexico in an effort to make it difficult for President Trump to build his border wall.

"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," the company said on their website.

They are also asking people to donate to their campaign.

"You give us $15, and we’ll send six America-saving surprises right to your doorstep," the company said. "It will be fun, it will be weird, and if you voted for Trump, you might want to sit this one out."

The company did not disclose where the piece of land is located, but said everyone who pitches in on day one will receive an illustrated map of the land.

What they ought to do, if they really wanted to make this difficult, would be to subdivide the plot into 1"x1" squares and deed each square to someone who donated $15. Then the government would need to name each 1sq.in. parcel owner in a takings action. Government would need to have a very precise survey to determine which 1sq.in. parcels are necessary for the project, owners on the edge could have claims that their property isn't really necessary for the project. Would be much more successful, I think, than leaving the entire parcel intact and prompting one lawsuit.

That comment section is well-seasoned.

Everyone thinks it's to block the border wall, but really they're just creating their own underground smuggling ring to get Kinder Surprise eggs into America.
