I’m not sure if you’re supposed to eat these or stick them up your Batcave like some kind of crotch piñata. But I do know one thing… I HAVE NEVER FELT SO CONFIDENT

So, I just came across this act of brilliance. Here’s what they say about it:
“Look what Bellissimo Java is now doing …. PERFECT GIFT IDEA !!!Chocolate covered Champagne , Wine, or Coca Cola or glass baby bottles !! If it’s glass. we can cover it and you can eat it later !!!”
Seriously? Isn’t this against health code regulations?
My favorite part is that they went around the juice label. Classy.

I have an Etsy shop, and today I was doing a little craft show in Ohio. Etsy itself was going to be there, giving presentations on how to quit your job and be successful at selling your shit there.
Anyway, the organizers put together these little “swag bags” for the artists. Etsy decided to contribute to the bag with their “Do it Yourself PINPRICK Card.”
I dump the bag out, start talking to someone and leaned on my desk. That’s when I get the excruciating pain in my hand.
Those Etsy buffoons put a damned thumb tack into a piece of cardboard so it stuck out the other side, and just threw it in a bag.
WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT DOES THAT

This Etsy seller sent a “Cease and Desist” letter to my brother and a handful of other Etsy artisans on Friday night. She is threatening legal action unless they remove their listings for insulator lamps, which she claims to have “copyrighted and patented.”
To bolster her claim, she submits a link to a completely different lamp owned by Fine Arts, LLC (with whom she has no connection).
But it gets better!
All of her product images for the lights have been stolen from other vendors and Etsy shop owners, and she is refusing to remove them. She even took some of the photos from shop owners she threatened with cease and desist letters!
You would think the watermark of the photographer making the complaint would be sufficient proof, but all the photos are still up. In fact, more stolen photos were posted over the weekend.
At this point, five Etsy shop owners, two large companies and a photographer have all complained to Etsy and submitted the appropriate paperwork, but Etsy is not responding to any of them.
So basically, Etsy fucking blows.
