Not only are they digging a hole, they're building a hill!

Think of the value.

$68000 and counting so far. 34hrs dig time left. I'm intrigued to see how this hole gets dugv the deeper they get.

This is kind of interesting.

From a societal point of view. in 2016, you can get people to donate money to dig a pointless hole.

That's fascinating.

This is going to be mentioned in some sociology journal. Imagine being an alien landing on earth and finding out the habitants did this just for kicks.

You can tell the guy on the hoe is used to loading trucks and not digging. What an ugly hole. Slow as hell too

They should have done this closer to Xmas. This would be better viewing than the Shaw fireplace.

It's a holiday hole, not an impromptu holiday backhoe operator grave.

Are they filling it with something? It would be great if they bagged up all the cash in $1 coins, chucked it in there and left it for someone to find.

Can't get Big Sugar out my head now. "Diggin' a hole in my heart...."

Maybe that was the point of all of this. To make Big Sugar popular again.

Unless they get some big donations soon, this is going to be a pretty pathetic hole.

It's been reducing the seconds per dollar amount constantly since the start, which seems to imply that they always intended to have diminishing returns and eventually it would stop. At the start, $15 bought over 30 seconds of digging time, now it's only 7 seconds!

They're probably realizing that it's not so profitable after all.
