That didn't take long. A day after ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com went viral the site's creator has already expressed remorse for creating a sparkly, vengeful monster.

Carpenter's website offers to send a ready-to-burst envelope full of glitter to anyone for the low, low price of $10 Australian dollars.

Today the creator went to ProductHint.com to beg customers not to buy his product. Still, he hasn't taken the site down.
