According to the creators behind this campaign, glitter is evil and was sent to Earth only to try us. I am honestly still finding 40th birthday glitter four months on, not to mention stars from Christmas 2006. And yes, I am one of those people that puts glitter into cards but gets fed up when I get it in cards given to me.
I hate glitter, even more so after having a glitter-induced asthma attack after having a bunch dumped on me.
Anyway, enough padding, these are all the reasons, and more, that I adore this poster. Glitter IS like herpes, as comedian Demetri Martin once said.
