Go find alternative distribution channels. Have you tried walking into local head shops and asking them if they'd stock it? If so, find out who their main distributors are, and go talk to them. How about running banner ads on 4chan (http://www.4chan.org/advertise http://www.4chan.org/advertise)? Are there other websites with similar audiences and lack of censorship?

I would second this, you are going to have to go direct to niche sites that hold your target demographic and do deals directly with the site. Sites that revolve around social drinking and partying would be your prime advertisement venues, but the mainstream is not going to touch it and rightfully so. Even if it is not that offensive, it has the potential to turn off more individuals that view the advertisement, than the niche sales can replace. So it is a simple decision for them, they deal in the mainstream. You may be able to target certain bars with a bulk deal, in which they purchase decks for patrons. As well, you may want to do demographic studies to find out which age, culture, gender are more apt to be consumers, then heavily target that market via campaigns directly to sites they hang out on.

  I have tried bars. Not many are open because of the name of the game. The few bars that agreed and what worked for me is when I did a promotion and have been there physically (I sold all the decks I took there).

    Bring them to Australia and sell them to the Kevin "Bloody" Wilson bogan crowd. The F word is the worst swear in the USA, whereas in Australia it's not so bad.

Advertising on 4chan is a good idea that i never thought about, I have always posted to their boards... I will ad that to my list. Thanks

  Glad that was helpful. 4chan is just an example. Go find the other 20 websites like them that have good traffic volumes that you can advertise on.
