Why aren’t YOU giving all this money to charity? It’s your money.

How deep can you make this sucker?

At least then we’d feel something.

Or maybe Christo can make a bizarre art project out of it.
If this is how they make their money then....more power to them I guess.
I guess this is just another joke that is going way over my head.
There really isn't any point. I guess you could look at it as a metaphor (even though they said it's not).
The guys that run this company like to take pot shots at society every now-and-again, and they get more and more hilarious.
I'm somewhat surprised to see the time remaining has not gone up from when I last looked last night. I know time has elapsed since then, but it seemed to just keep going up every time I checked.
A Holiday "Hole" that you're simply throwing money into it is such a metaphor that I "get" even if the company owners claim one doesn't exist. Giving $1, $5 or even $1,000 (which some people and companies did do!) is just what all of this marathon buying/selling often feels like to me. Eventually it moves from being generous to being part of a machine and you just start to ask "What's the point?", which is exactly what we all asked about this hole.
