Mathew Carpenter has made a huge mistake, and much like his creation, it's not going anywhere for a while.
The 22-year-old creator of ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com -- and self-proclaimed person who "live[s] for moolah" on Twitter -- is urging his millions of fans to stop using his brilliantly evil website to get revenge on their enemies.

After a boom in sales that also caused a temporary site crash, Carpenter decided he is in way over his sparkly head and put the site up for grabs to anyone who wants to buy it from him.
He also posted on the website ProductHunt.com, pleading with customers to stop buying his shiny and swift revenge methods.
Like many other geniuses who grow to regret their creation, it seems Carpenter has fallen down the path of other figures like Dr. Frankenstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and (probably) whoever invented the selfie stick.
There's no stopping this glittery monster now.
