Come up with a game and name it, it might stick. Instead of saying "go fish" we say "Catch a Liberty". What will "black jack" be called? What's a jack? It does not sound American to me.

Did they color in the background because they don't know how to draw a border around the card that was cut in half?

The thing that gets my goat the most is that they have the audacity to say "We'll sign it!" as if that adds any value.

If this is a joke, it's not funny. It's just dumb as hell.

No, it's a libertarian Kickstarter. None of his 4600 friends are backing him because they think he should bootstrap his own drat playing cards if he wants them so much.

It's an Easter miracle! Another hot dog kickstarter for goons to rally behind.

Sean is unemployed but he has a dream. A dream of building a hot dog cart (it's not built yet but he's supplied a photo of a similar cart to help you imagine what it will look like) and selling the best spicy hot dogs New Jersey has ever seen. If by 'best' we mean a dog with some Sriracha and jalapenos slapped on top of it.

So come on goons, let's help this man who has no food industry experience and no clear business plan achieve the American dream.

Isn't that a known scam on indie gogo? Take a legit kickstarter, copy it over and put it on flexible funding. The idea is to use a small scale project that looks like it will succeed on kickstarter and hope you make your money and split before the real project runner becomes aware of it. I've heard of it happening to comics or indie games people.

  • Cloning someone's (relatively prominent) Kickstarter - No, bad, evil, get rid of it as soon as possible.
  • Literal scam involving impossible technology and flexible funding - That's cool, just make sure you make us a big-rear end cut, k?
