According to Linn’s Stamp News, the US Postal Service has now been forced to destroy the entire run of stamps based on Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative.
That’s because three of the stamps showed children doing unsafe activities: one showed a child jumping cannonball-style into water; a second showed a child skateboarding without kneepads; a third showed a child doing a headstand without a helmet.
The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition had not approved the stamps, but were only made aware of the problem after Nagisa Manabe, USPS marketing chief, asked Michelle Obama to take part in the ceremony inaugurating the initiative.
I like how they think kids actually even look at stamps.

The government is still shut down, so they can't destroy the stamps yet. Maybe before the repubs fold common sense will set in and Michelle will realize she shouldn't waste money like this.
After all, the USPS is in dire financial straits.

It shows a certain mindset that is at the wheel of this country. This is but a flick of a cigerette out the window but it points to it's thinking.
About time to smack it into neutral, pull the key and then jerk them out of the fucking car and monkey stomp their ass .
Leave them on the side of the road to bleed.
Figuratively.

The headstand is the one that's really hard to figure out. Even if these pansies think kids have to be protected from every little scrape and bruise, I don't see why you would need a helmet on to do a headstand. The fact that the head is already on the ground ensures there will be no impact.

We definitely need to open up the 13% of the government that's shut down so we can destroy these asap. For the kids, of course.

I was more pissed off that the guy running in the stamp is wearing green capris.

Works on both, they are one in the same.
