It’s Widget Wednesday once again! And what could be better than a widget that doesn’t do anything? Meet Virtual Fruitcake. Just like the real thing, Virtual Fruitcake just sits there, untouched, uneaten, and forgotten. It doesn’t animate, it doesn’t tell you the time until Christmas, it just sits there in its highly-detailed fruitiness. And that’s all there is to it. It’s become a staple part of my Dashboard, just sitting there on the bottom of my Dashboard over the past few weeks, serving as a reminder for why I don’t like fruitcake at all.

The folks at Bill Me Later have started up their own viral web video campaign, called Operation Fruitcake. The goal of this video campaign is to find as many ways as possible to rid the world of the holiday scourge, known as fruitcake, that everyone likes to buy but no one likes to eat. One of their videos comes from Will It Blend?, as they blend up fruitcake along with everything else that you don’t need anymore thanks to Bill Me Later.

If you’re one of the anti-fruitcakers in the world, you might want to keep an eye on Operation Fruitcake this holiday season. I know that I’ll be keeping watch (and taking notes…).
