Cards Against Humanity’s “The Nuisance Committee” Goes After Trump with Overwatch

hanzoCards Against Humanity‘s anti-Trump political action committee, “The Nuisance Committee,” has launched its third campaign: An Overwatch-themed billboard near the University of Central Florida that accuses Donald Trump of maining Hanzo and complaining about his team.

The campaign also will include digital and print ads in Seattle’s The Stranger alt-newspaper.

Unveiled last week, the Orlando billboard plays off of the popular video game, Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch, and targets voters between the ages of 18 and 30.

Winning Overwatch is contingent upon exceptional teamwork, and the billboard and companion website emphasize Donald Trump’s pattern of blaming others for his own failures and shortcomings.

This is the committee’s third committee campaign, following on the heels of TrumpDoesntPayTaxes.com (billboard located outside Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport) and podcast ads read by activist and actor George Takei, best known as Sulu from the Star Trek TV series.

The committee’s funds were raised with ongoing sales of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton add-on packs, sales that you can track.

The committee’s name, however, comes from a meaningful piece of Cards co-creator Max Temkin’s family history. His grandfather, Ira Weinstein, was shot down over Germany on his 24th combat mission during WWII and interned in a POW camp, Stalag Luft 1. There Ira and other Jewish POWs banded together to form a “Nuisance Committee” to irritate their captors in ways that wouldn’t get them shot.

The comparison between Trump and Hitler is intentional.

The illustrations were done by Daniel Warren Johnson; the design by Lindsey Camelio.
