(PCM) Who would have thought that a simple, yet heinously brilliant idea to ship your enemies an envelope stuffed full of glitter would soar in popularity in such a way that it has completely overwhelmed its’ creator.
Never underestimate the populations need to be vindictive! ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com founder Matthew Carpenter never imagined that his crazy service idea would blow up the way that it has, but it has now become so popular that he has been forced to suspend service and is begging customers to “chill out” with the ordering.
The website basically states “Send Glitter To The People You Hate” followed by their mission statement “Glitter as a Service: want to piss off someone you dislike for only $9.99? Let us send them some stupid f**king glitter that is guaranteed to go everywhere.”
Apparently people have a “sick fascination” with shipping glitter and as anyone who has ever had to deal with it in art projects, on greeting cards, etc you know that stuff gets virtually everywhere and is absolutely impossible to clean up. In fact, looking over at my sofa right now I still see some freaking glitter left over from a holiday gift bag … ugh!
Carpenter states on the website that they have received and are working on all orders and that they can no longer take any new orders at this time. He also posted online that he is “sick of dealing with” the glitter and has even posted a tweet that he is currently selling the domain.
