They are also making a boat load of money doing this. $2500 dollars per hour is a terrible price for 2 machines and 2 guys.

This is how they used to deal with unemployed people.

Only question is, do you have to pay for them to fill it back up?

You think they're doing only 2 people? They have loaders out there as well to move the dirt, so this probably isn't a 2 man crew for a 24 hour operation. There's lights for night time and everything.

I blame Trump for halting the "Trump Against Humanity" expansion deck.

I just donated $20 to dig a hole, and I actually feel better about that than the $20 I donated to PIMking.

I think last year they kept the money for themselves and published what they bought and in 2014, I believe they sent dried poop to "donors".

Wonder how much they'd raise if they said send us your money and we'll send it to Donald Trump.

Millions?

I have a title to a 1'x1' plot of land on some island in the middle of a lake in the NE US somewhere. Cards against humanity registered it in my name for one of their previous Christmas 'events'. I am eagerly following this hole to see where it goes.

I swear the people who made this did it solely to troll everyone to the greatest extent imaginable.

EDIT: Also, this seems like a terrible deal even if you really enjoy watching people dig holes for no reason. 1$ only gets you 1.4 seconds. Why? $10 per minute would probably get a lot more people donating.

That big hole got me thinking of the best 3rd Rock From the Sun episode: Dick & Harry Fall in a Hole, featuring a great guest appearance by Allan Cumming.

Full episode here. Enjoy.
