<p>Cards Against Humanity, the party game where players fill in the blanks in sentences with phrases like “my dad’s fucking dumb face” and “a big black dick,” is threatening to destroy an original Picasso print.<br /></p><p>Earlier this month, the game’s makers launched a promotion called “Eight Sensible Gifts for Hanukkah.” Exactly 150,000 people signed up and paid $15 each to receive eight gifts. Past gifts included multiple days of socks, a donation to public radio, and a week off for employees at the Chinese printing facility that produces Cards Against Humanity’s decks.<br /></p><p>For the seventh gift, the company is asking its 150,000 subscribers to vote on the fate of an original 1962 Picasso lino-cut called “Tête de Faune.”<br /></p><p>“Should we donate this work to the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, or should we laser-cut it into 150,000 tiny squares and send everyone their own scrap of a real Picasso?” the company says on the website for the promotion.<br /></p><p>The voting starts December 26 and runs until December 31.
