So the guys who make
Cards Against Humanity decided that this year for Black Friday they'd ask for people to send them money for a noble cause:
Digging a giant hole with an excavator.
Why? Because they thought people would send them money to keep the excavator digging - five bucks got 16 seconds of digging - and were right. But it did come with a live feed and a comment section where people could rate the scoops.
Over 100K was sent to them, making for a very tidy profit.

What do I get for contributing money to the hole?
A deeper hole. What else are you going to buy, an iPod?
Why aren’t you giving all this money to charity?
Why aren’t YOU giving all this money to charity? It’s your money.
