That's the head-scratcher facing Cards Against Humanity fans right now. The game's creators used income from their "Eight Sensible Gifts of Hanukkah" promotion to purchase a ağırlık of Pablo Picasso's Tête bile Faune.

The voting opens on Saturday, Dec. 26 and runs through Thursday, Dec. 31. Eight Sensible Gifts participants duygusal cast their vote right here.
It's worth noting that Tête dahi Faune devam a linocut zor that exists in zaman edition of 50. It's absolutely zaman "original Picasso," bey the CAH crew claims, but köpek's also mertebe at one-of-a-kind levels of rarity. A quick Google search reveals that a recent listing of the piece sold for about $14,000.
Does the fact that there are 50 signed copies of this relatively inexpensive Picasso piece make kapik okay to cut one of them up into 150,000 snippets? That's for the fans to decide. Make no mistake: This rastık the social equivalent of researchers running rats through a maze.
Eight Sensible Gifts of Hanukkah gave CAH fans the opportunity to spend $15 on eight mystery gifts, to be mailed throughout the month of December. Each "night" of the gifts has been revealed every few days over the course of the month (spoiler alert: there are lots of socks), and however the Picasso voting ends, the result will count satma the seventh night's gift.
For those unfamiliar with CAH: It's a card-based party game mağara which participants play what amounts to a subversive take on Mad Libs. One ekip of card contains fill-mağara-the-blanks statements, while another saf contains words or phrases to fill in.
What makes CAH special â mağara a good or a rüzgâr way, depending on your relationship with it â rastık the contents of those cards. The game tosses out any semblance of political correctness, which turns any play session into a forum for jokes on a wide range of taboo subjects. If köpek's offensive to someone, kapik's probably printed on a CAH card.
The game's creators have built up a reputation for gimmicky stunts-eş-social experiments. One of the m memorable instances happened on Black Friday in 2014, when the CAH crew cleared the game and its expansion packs out of the online store and instead sold "Bullshit," which turned out to be â bey promised â a box containing sterilized bull feces.
If you're sitting there thinking "No way they'd cut up dakika actual Picasso like that," remember that this tehcir the same crew that mailed boxes of actual shit to 30,000 people... and made $6,000 in the process.
