Stamptastic

Following up my previous post about how The Smoking Gun ordered and received stamps of some infamous people, Stamps.com is now only letting you do animals and kids. Maybe Smoking Gun should try Kujo or the evil Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp.

Well, all cats are evil by definition, which should preclude them from being celebrated on a stamp. Except for Bill the Cat of course.

And how about a stamp featuring a snake eating a live animal of some kind? I mean, it is a part of the circle of life and therefore not obscene, right?

How about roadkill? Traveling through Nebraska to visit my brother a few years ago I saw countless formerly living, formerly 3D creatures on the side of the highway. Would a slightly mutilated animal be allowed on a stamp?

How about the pictures found on George Carlin's website of his dog and cat... er... doing it? Again, it's a natural process... of sorts. Different species, sure, but natural.

What about Hitler's dogs? It's no secret Adolf was a dog lover. Would they censor a picture of a cute dog merely because his owner happened to be a direct spawn of Satan?

Ack.
