Glitter Update, we were punked....

So last week I posted about a new website where you could glitter bomb anyone for the low low price of $8.00.  Turns out the whole thing was a marketing stunt, and a good one at that.

Matthew Carpenter, who created the site, did so in response to a ... "a New Year's resolution to work on more side projects to keep him occupied whilst improving my marketing & development skills."  Personally, it sounds like he needed shit to do and maybe should think about going a club or something.

Although, I will give it to him, the story caught on and articles were published EVERYWHERE.  And he did pay off for him as he sold the website last week for $85,000.

But... never fear, there still are places you can order a glitter bomb, etsy.com has had a string of glitter bomb offerings such as this GlitterBombShop etsy store.  Of course, etsy is the same place where people are selling glitter pills  as a "joke" but people are buying the pills so their poo glitters.  Hey, whatever floats your boat people!
