There’s a new lurking evil out there on the Internet: weaponized glitter. A new website called [ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com](http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/) is vowing to do just that by mailing envelopes full of the annoying craft supply anywhere in the world for $9.99 AUD.

The site’s creators joked that glitter is “the herpes of the craft world” and promise that they’ll leave no indication of who paid for the unwanted gift. Included with the messy, sparkly debris will be a note telling the recipient “how awful they are.” The note, the creators promise, will itself be packed with glitter, increasing spillage. The site even has some (seemingly fake) testimonials from so-called customers who used envelopes of glitter to ruin marriages and put job security into question.

If you’ve never spilled a whole thing of glitter in your house, you may not understand what a cruel joke this would be to play on another person. Be sure you’re ready to destroy a relationship with the glitter bomb, because there’s no going back.
