USPS to destroy "Just Move" Stamps after safety concerns

The safety concern was over a depiction of a kid doing a cannonball into a pool, a kid doing a headstand without a helmet, and a kid skateboarding without kneepads....

We are lucky to have our gov't look after us like this. I just wish there was a way for the gov't to be more involved in my every day life.....

I take all my safety advice from postage stamps - doesn't everyone?

I'm surprised nobody has made a fuss that the kids all appear white, or possibly "white-hispanic."

Don't worry cardboard, i'm sure Obama care has a couple hundred pages on postage stamps, appropriagte depictions and their disposal. Probably penalties for using ones that don't reflect nanny state initiatives.

I wonder how much money was wasted in designing, printing and disposing of the stamps.
