The irreverent game company that produced \"Cards Against Humanity\" has launched its next salvo on conventional society, this time aiming at President Donald Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

\r\n

The campaign, entitled \"Cards Against Humanity Saves America\" hopes to raise funds from thousands of Americans, with the purpose of buying property along the U.S. southern border — the land which would be necessary to complete any border wall. The company vows to fight any such project in the courts.

\r\n\r\n

On its website the company explains that it has retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain laws, under which the government can seize private property for government projects.

\r\n

What do you think?

\r\n

Is this a great idea or a horrible one? Do you wish you had gotten in on the action? Did you get in on the action? Are you planning to burn your Cards Against Humanity game in protest and then post a video on its Twitter feed, @CAH? Do you think they will care?
