"On Black Friday, everybody is selling something. We're the only company to offer the superior Black Friday experience of buying nothing"
The popular game Cards Against Humanity (CAH) collected $71,000 (£42,2000) after asking people to pay them $5 on Black Friday, for nothing in return. CAH, which calls itself "a party game for horrible people" had a message on its website stating: "This Black Friday Only! Give Cards Against humanity $5." Below, was a box to tick stating: "I understand I am paying Cards Against Humanity $5 and receiving nothing in return."
The company tweeted: “On Black Friday, everybody is selling something. We’re the only company to offer the superior Black Friday experience of buying nothing.
"The greatest Black Friday gift of all is buying nothing. We’re offering that for the rock-bottom price of $5. How can you afford NOT to seize this incredible opportunity?"
They also Tweeted "On Black Friday a lot of companies promise you something for nothing. We're the only company to offer you nothing for something."
On the website, the company explained "11,248 people gave us $5, and 1,199 people gave us more than $5. One enthusiastic fan gave us $100. In the end we made a windfall profit of $71,145. They said "There’s been a lot of speculation about how we would spend the money from Black Friday, and we’re happy to announce that this time, we kept it all."
I really like the fact that you chose an article that was a little more light hearted than what we generally see in the news at the moment. It's good that you included quotes from the company, as it adds credibility to your report.
