Cards Against Humanity Send Out Fantastic Christmas Message

Cards Against Humanity is a game renowned for its savage nature. It's the game that basically sets the boundaries for a night in or out, so you know how far you can go with a joke without actually upsetting someone.

That's why it's rather odd that they've sent a message that hits you right in the feels, rather than making you cover your mouth and say 'bloody hell!'.

Since it's that special time of year, they penned a letter asking people to appreciate labourers who work in underprivileged and unfair working conditions.

In full it says: "Like many of the physical products we buy, Cards Against Humanity and most of these gifts are made in China.

"This is something a lot of companies don't like to draw attention to and as a result Americans often don't see the labour that goes into the things they buy. But we've always viewed the way our stuff is made as a part of who we are.

"Our printer in China has grown with us from a small business to a huge operation, and it's important to us to go above and beyond our obligation to the workers who make our game.

"While our factory provides excellent wages and working conditions, Chinese working conditions are generally more strict. This Year, we used the money from one day of our holiday promotion to give our workers something very uncommon in China: a paid vacation.

"The printer didn't have any formal procedures for paid vacations, so we bought 100% of the factory's capacity and paid them to produce nothing for a week, giving the people who make CAH an unexpected chance to visit family or do whatever they please.

"This doesn't undo the ways that all of us profit from unfair working conditions around the world, but it's a step in the right direction. Enclosed you'll find some thank you notes and vacation photos from our factory staff.

"Happy holidays!"

The picture was uploaded to Imgur last night and has since been viewed more than 500,000 times. Hopefully it has opened a few eyes along the way.

Included with the note was a thank you, as well as some pictures of the staff who used some of their pay packet to give their workers a paid vacation which is not usually the norm in China.

This is very admirable and exactly what this time of year is about.
