Sending glitter to your enemies has become a new fad on the web as of late. When my friends and I first heard of mailing an envelope containing a nasty surprise with no return address to someone who we would love to be covered in "herpes of the craft world," we naturally thought of sending it to an ex.

However this comes with a pretty messy dilemma (yes the pun was intended). There are pros and cons to ruining someone's day with a shiny disaster, so I'll lay it out for you.

Pros

1. It is absolutely hilarious.

2. It is guaranteed to absolutely obliterate someone's day.

3. They will start to think of all the people they have wronged, i.e. you.

4. Maybe, in the long run, it will turn them into a nicer person. Don't hold your breath.

5. That person may never find out it was you. Fingers crossed.

Cons

1. Unless they have a lot of ex's they will automatically blame you.

2. It could physically harm them by getting in their eyes or mouth. Ouch.

3. Karma, karma, karma with a side of karma.

4. You may open your mail box to find an envelope for you.

5. If they know where you live, you could potentially get egged. Trust me.

(I'm imagining a hypothetical scale holding both pros and cons; it's dead even. Dang, I was really pushing for the pros.)

Depending on what the relationship ended like, that can change things. If they cheated, then I wouldn't give it anymore thought -- send that sucker. But if you cheated and they broke up with you, then don't dig the knife in deeper.

I believe this idea to be pure genius. From an entrepreneurial stand point there are a lot of people in the world that will pay $9.99 to send a letter of that stature. These people are making boatloads of money by wrecking people's days, but for the sake of everyone involved just make sure you have a just cause for sending a glitter grenade, before you put the letter's fate into your enemy's hands.
