Ship Your Enemies Glitter Founder Bit Off More Sparkles Than He Could Chew; Site Is Now For Sale

Glitter is pretty and sparkly and festive, yes, but once it explodes all over something, it will never, ever unstick itself from that object and all nearby surfaces — including innocent bystanders. This makes it the perfect weapon of mass irritation and the ideal means of ruining your enemies' lives. Ship Your Enemies Glitter is a website created solely to allow you to anonymously send an envelope of what the site calls "the herpes of the craft world," aka glitter, to your unassuming target. The site's hilarious tagline sums up the service: "Do want to piss off someone you dislike for only $9.99? Let us send them some stupid f*cking glitter that is guaranteed to go everywhere." Genius.

The site went viral just a few days ago and the glittery gift idea has, um, blown up in the founder's face. Ship Your Enemies Glitter received over 1.3 million visits and was shared around 300,000 times on Twitter and Facebook — in just 24 hours. Matthew Carpenter, the brains behind the crafty operation, took to the Internet and begged shoppers to cease their orders, jokingly saying that the world "has a sick fascination with shipping people glitter," and removed the order form from the website, at least temporarily. He now wants to sell the site, which he told Huffington Post was intended to just be a side project until it exploded all over the Internet.
