OMG it is glitter get over yourself. What is the big deal?

Ellen,
I remember watching one of your shows and you were talking about banning gliiter, I have to agree with that 1,000% and more. My daugher was playing with glitter sticker that her Grandmother bought her after Valentines Day. A few days later her Eye started bothering her and I took her to the Dr. last Thursday at 10:40am. Well their was something definently in her eye so they sent us to an Eye Dr. at Carnial Glennon. Finally around 2:30pm we saw the Dr. he said that it looked like a piece of plastic floating around her eye and they gave us a few options. Ok first of all my daughter is only 4 yrs old. Anyway the first option was to wrap her in a blanket and have 4 people hold her down while they take this thing out of her eye, or sedate her...Well of course I said I'd rather her be sedated rather than being tramatized. "She'll never want to go to the Dr. again" The Dr. was actually a really nice Dr. he walked us down to the ER and we waited for a room to open up. Around 5:00pm we were able to get a room and I stayed with my daughter till they sedated her and then I had to wait in the waiting room untill they were done The procedure only lasted 5 minutes ...if that, and they called me back into the room to wait till she woke up. The Dr. said it looked like a small piece of glitter that he took out of her eye. We finally left the hospital around 7:00pm that night. I'll tell you what GLITTER SUCKS!!!!! I hate it so much. That was the longest 9 hours of my life. I am so glad that my mom was there to help me out. She was very patient and I also had my 2yr old son with me too that whole day. After my daughter woke up she said that her eye felt much better. It hurts when you have an eyelash in your eye, can you imagine a pice of glitter. I am so proud of how brave my daughter was. My mom thought that it was her fault because she was the one that bought these gliiter sticker, but it could of came from anywhere, My daughter has a few shirts with glitter on them "which I'm going to throw away" and her Princess Barbie dresses have it on there too so those dresses are going in the trash also and plus she play with glitter at school, so it could of came from anywhere. I'm so glad it is done and over with. Hopefully this never happens again. I totally support the banning of glitter all the way!!!!!!!!

I just have to comment on Dan K's post.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!? Calling people that wear glitter maggots? Talking about teenage girls like that? I agree with someone else who posted about you needing help. Yes, seek therapy! You have some serious issues and I do believe that your bitterness lies deeper than a tiny sparkly thing.
Yes, I agree, it's annoying.....but you have got to be kidding me with that novel you just wrote and the content in it.
Seek help, my friend. Seek help.

oh, if you only knew how bad the glitter bothers me. i become angry if it gets on me. GLITTER IS THE DEVIL! my wife watches you all the time, and she said you wanted it banned. i am SO with you on that. just thinking about glitter gets my blood boiling. i love you, Ellen. you're a wonderful person, who does so much for people. keep it up.

sincerely,
Andrew, of Colusa, CA.

wow lets not get too overheated about glitter. Whats really sad is that you people actually are arguing over glitter when it was just a simple question to begin with, and people have their own opinions... i personally like glitter and embelishments that sparkle... I guess Im one of the many who enjoy the look of it under the light. You honestly meghan(or w/e ur name is) have no life if you actually can feud over something as little as glue... everyones different... accept it... we all do, maybe you should start too...put downs is whats ruining our country...

i really can not believe some of you!! i never thought of glitter as anything but glitter! some of you people are seemingly OBSESSED with it-- i mean with the hatred of it-- to "dan k" who commented. i am so serious when i say , you need a doc. i can not believe the way you go on and on and i was astonished when i read your passionate comments of glitter! its hysterical but you are unreal! it doesnt hurt anything you nut case! i can imagine what you are like if you run into an ACTUAL problem in life!! good luck "dan k"

Some people think our bags are the perfect way to carry and share their hand made cards- others think that they would be better with glitter and all sorts of embellishments on the outside of the bags. For me, glitter is more about the fun-then the result. However, you might get a chance to see one of our bags with a "great" result-tomorrow at the taping. Glitter may be our best look. I love what you do-your great comedy and smiling face has to be empowering to everyone! paula Krieger/president/dailywindow products, inc.

Maybe we should have a "design your own bag demonstration" with some of the HDTV design team on your show and do a give away.

....anyone on here that said that glitter should be banned is a freaking moron and should educate themselves further. There are over 100 things that cause serious injury in this country and more than half of them can kill, and you're arguing that about glitter and how it doesn't come off anything; go spend your time doing something worth wild. Yes, I understand that it can be a pain in the butt, but seriously, out of all the things you could be doing you're arguing about glitter; obviously you don't know how used glitter is. Go do research, find out, and you'll know that glitter will never be banned in America unless our president, congress, and everybody else hates glitter.

Dear Ellen,

I love glitter! I love the way it sparkles and makes everything look pretty...makes a spray painted gold macaroni jewerly box go from a toxic boxed treat to something magical!

What would Christmas be without glitter? How about New Years Eve? And Marti Gras?!!

Besides, I think that glitter is a gay food group (I should know : )...that's like, 1/5th of a drag queen's make up...1/3rd of a pride float...oh no!!!

I love glitter and I love me some Ellen too...PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!

I can see that the corporations have gotten completely out of control! Who needs glitter in your toothpaste or especially deoderant...and yes they did completely over saturate the market with glitter in things...that is so sad...

But glitter is beautiful...makes things sparkle!
I could not live without it!

I have noticed also that for people that do not like it...it stays with them...heheheee.....

Do you notice the reason - the people that hate glitter can't make it go away...HAHAHAAAA....
I've noticed that for years...

Everyone needs a lil sparkle ;)

Yes! I wish glitter was banned. I loved what Senator Clinton said about her thoughts on glitter: ban it for anyone over...12! :D

And Ellen, did you also realise that they have put glitter in some TOOTHPASTES? I think that needs to be banned for sure. One time, after I brushed my teeth, I woke up the next day looking at specks of glitter between my teeth!

Oh dear sweet Jesus, YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSS!!! YEEEESSSS!!

I can't believe somebody famous actually said it!

I DESPISE glitter, HATE, pure undadulterated HATE!
IMO, it is THE most worthless tasteless rude substance ON EARTH!!!

Gets on you hands and doesnt warn you, as Ellen says? That is like 1 millionth of its scourge!
It gets on everything it or the person inflicting it touches! It sticks, it doesn't come off, it travels from thing to thing like nuclear waste.
Pay attention and watch around you. I'm not exaggerating.
If you get it on carpet you can vacuum it 1000 times and it will never come off.
You'll think you got it, but then the light hits it from another angle and you didn't.

You can TRY to wash your clothes, but you'll only make it worse. Afterward it'll be on all your other clothes too.

The only thing you have a prayer of getting it off with is tape, with very low success.

If it's the kind teenybobbers spray all over themselves you can just forget EVER seeing the last of it unless you shower off, put on clothes somebody else handed you, burn down your house and blow up your car!
Wash it, wipe it, vacuum it, steam clean it, you will NEVER get it all if your life depended on it.

Just think about it, you're wearing some tacky garbage that looks like sweat and you get it on anybody or anything you bump into.
What else would that be tolerated for??!
If you had wet paint on you, people would scream bloody murder.

If you want to look like you're covered with sweat or snow, look like a moron in your own house and never come back out again!
You have no right to get your filth on the rest of us!

To reiterate for the glitter wearer:
You look like crap! You look sweaty.
You look tasteless and tacky.
You look like a stripper or a prostitute.
Notice they're the ones who wear it the most?
Well, teenage girls are worse. For some reason the lowest asthetic taste starts with them.

Little kids don't need it to put it on their greeting cards in glue and then dump it on the floor. There's are countless crafts projects they would like as much or more.

BAN THIS FILTH!
Glitter is from hell itself!

PS - for the TRUE glitter hater:
The reason it won't come off is it is actually microns thin and you only see the width.
At that thickness it can stick IN the very fibers of anything textile. It can wedge into your skin.
It tends to be HUGELY attracted to the slightest bit of static.
It is actually made of mica, not plastic or metal.
Most of it is made in New Jersey (shocker eh?), AFAIK.
The larger flecks are actually the easier to get off, if you CAN get it off.
The smaller it is, the more it can wedge into any porous surface - you'll notice the only thing you may get it off of is a very smooth hard surface.
Smaller also means you miss it when you look for it to TRY to get rid of it, but when you give up you see it later. Try again, repeat insidious cycle.

Oooooh, I can't possibly say how much I hate this filth in words!
I hate it more than ANYTHING ON EARTH!
I'd rather be covered in dog crap!
I could wash that off!!!!!!!

Please, somebody, tell me there is a petition to rid us of this scum! Can one donate $ to some sort of movement?

Jeez I hope this thing notifies you of more posts to the thread or lets you email the poster!

Oh, one final note to the uniformed NON-hater:
If it doesn't come off, it isn't real glitter!
In car paint, it's called metal flake. It's METAL, IN the paint and you'd have to take a belt sander to get it off.
That is THE ONLY place it belongs, and not much of it.
If it's on a bar stool, it's in the plastic (unless some maggot was wearing it and got some on it).
Those old 70's iron on shirt stickers are NOT glitter, same reason.

Jeez I hope this isn't to long for the 2000's attention span. Post if you got this far!
NOT if you are part of the problem though!

I just want to second the Crafty Chica (Kathy Cano-Murillo). We all need a little glitter in our lives. We just need to use it responsibly.

I'm a preschool teacher so of course I love glitter. But if you want to talk about styrofoam...

i'm so glad i don't watch this show. is this seriously the kind of stuff you waste people's time with? geez.

Are you kidding? Glitter is what makes the world happy. Why are we worrying about something as harmless as puppies? Isn't there a writer's strike, a war, poverty and other nonhappy glitterless catastropies going on worldwide? Maybe we should sprinkle glitter on Iraq. Thanks Kathy! Long time lover of Glitter and will always be.
