People often say revenge is a dish best served cold. But when it comes to getting back at an ex, I say revenge is a dish best served alive.Sure, things started out great. Everyone saw the happy couple all over campus, holding hands as they skipped to class together, without a care in the world.  A few months have gone by, and she can’t handle one more day of him playing video games with the “boys,” and he can’t take one more day of her constant nagging, bickering and PMS.After the relationship goes downhill and the happily-ever-after couple isn’t so happy anymore, revenge is oh so sweet.Girls will hack into boys’ Facebook accounts and change their favorite movie to “The Babysitter’s Club.” And boys will go to Bogie’s to try to bring home as many late-night specials they can find.But for people who aren’t messing around and want to take revenge to a whole new level, consider revengecrabs.com.Revenge Crabs is a Web site offering packages of “crabs” to infest anyone you deem deserving. Packages range from a single colony for $99 to a shampoo-resistant colony for $298.Each package comes with the colony of crabs, a detailed instruction sheet on the best way to pass the crabs on and bottle of anti-crab shampoo in case of accidental “self-crabbifying.”The creators of revengecrabs.com prefer to remain anonymous, but on the Web site they describe themselves as a “collection of professional guys who all attend a well-known university in the northeast.”One of the creators was seeing a girl that kept him itching for less, not more, because she infected him with crabs.Before he could get a dollop of ointment onto his “pubis of greatest inflammatoirarius” two of his brothers found themselves “in the same final throes of prickly screaming chigger nibbling,” according to the Web site.   The boys vowed two things that day: “bros before hoes,” and if they had to have the crabs, then all them “biznatches” should have a couple of waves of crabs, too.The creators claim that giving someone crabs is both morally and legally acceptable and Byron Dwight, vice president of sales for revengecrabs.com, said that in the two years they have been in business no one has attempted to sue them.On the Q & A portion of the Web site, they jokingly answer the question of whether someone can get in trouble for giving the crabs to another.”Depends how big she is, whether or not she owns a gun, or if she’s the type to sneak into your bed at night and slice you up,” the creators said.To justify the legality of this service, Dwight said, “Do you sue the maker of the whoopee cushion?”Cheney Joseph, professor of law and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Paul M. Hebert Law Center, said he isn’t sure whether there is a law against purposefully infesting someone with crabs.”The AIDS statute in the criminal code does not include all sexually transmitted diseases … but there may be some provisions of which I am unaware,” Joseph said.Emily Favrot, anthropology senior, said she wouldn’t use this method to exact revenge on anyone.”I just don’t find that amusing,” Favrot said.But many people do find it amusing, as the testimonials reveal.As the tagline of the Web site says, “You’ve got an ex, a grudge and a valid credit card with matching billing and shipping addresses, and we’ve got crabs.”So boys and girls beware, because revenge is always sweet — especially when the victim is left “itching” with regret for whatever bad decision they made.- – – -Contact Victoria Toups at [email protected]
