Please Mr. Postman

After a trial run last year, the Postal Service is resuming its PhotoStamps program which allows you to make personalized "vanity stamps" from your own digital photos. Last year's run might have been considered a success if it weren't for those meddling kids at The Smoking Gun, who proceeded to print stamps containing such less-than-patriotic images as the Lewinski dress and the Unabomber. This time around, the fine print specifically forbids images of international leaders, convicted criminals, or any other objectionable stuff. Plus, they'll charge you $10 for each violation, and they'll hold you liable for damages if you dare to publicize how you fooled them. What fun is that?
