Like in the past, CAH is running another of their Black Friday deals that isn't a deal.  Check it out: https://holidayhole.com/, it comes with live cams of them digging the whole from donation money.

There are a lot of people that do it for entertainment value.

I figure a CAH or crowd funded major project of massive scale could be complete if someone found a way for it to be amusing enough to a large number of people.

Not the first time they have gotten money for useless stuff or Black Friday high jinks:

2015 they each got 4k and most gave 800-1500 to a wide variety of charities.

Not sure where the problem is -- did they somewhere misrepresent what donora would receive and/or what the donations would be used for? Isn't "crowdfunding" sometimes just to give or support a cause or an amusing project without having something tangible given back to you in return?

Sorry did I give the impression u has a problem with what they were doing... My bad.  I see no problem with any of what they have done, I laugh every Black Friday of what they come up with and what people will pay for. 

Remember: I'm they guy whom owns their products.

If I had the money, I'd have bought their box of poo.
