    I don't know how to react to this really. On one hand, this is very serious. While it was clear that it was meant as more of a joke, what if it wasn't meant to be one? What if it is supposed to be a lot more serious. On the other hand, it's a glitter bomb. It's pretty funny really. I doubt anything serious was meant by it, and it is still pretty funny.

    It might be worth the resources to speak to who ever sent it, that is if they know who sent it. They could be off their rocker and this is just the first in a series of escalating attacks but hopefully not.

    Based on the content of the note, it is reasonable to assume the one responsible supports abortion. That would suggest someone who is more inclined to lean towards liberal ideology rather than conservative.

    I find it hilarious! (although I myself would not participate in these sort of activities)

    The world needs more sarcasm!

    I had to read the "Glitter bomb" in the title again to make sure this wasn't a joke.

    I know, it was confusing at first for me too.

    That's what the FBI are doing right now.

    Not necessarily. If we want to look at this on a left vs right argument, it doesn't necessarily work like that. It could have been from Libertarians who support women's rights as well.

    I would like it if we could learn more about why they did it before laughing, but yeah I loved this.

    Maybe the glitter bomber lives in a shack out in the woods and it's a really bright, glittery shack with solar panels on the roof and pink wallpaper.

    I think it is hilarious and to be honest it doesnt hurt anyone. I'd much rather see this kind of protest than the typical one with stupid rhymes and destruction of property we have become accustomed too.

    Probably, because glitter is the most frustrating thing to try and deal with when it gets everywhere.

    That's the problem w/that stuff. I've been to many kids/adults birthday parties and showers w/glitter and it's a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) to get it all cleaned up and off your clothes. Because of that fact, I don't like it.......

    I'm so torn on this.

    on one hand, that crap gets EVERYWHERE. If you dont' know its a glitter bomb and you open it by your computer and electronics, you might have some serious issues.


    on the other hand... it's friggen glitter. Even if I got one, I'd have a hard time not feeling like I just got spooged on by a unicorn and laughing my butt off at the visual......

    I love the 'mind your own uterus' line. Men use real bombs to get their point across. Pro-choice women send 'glitter bombs. Go figure.
