The U.S. Postal Service tabled its first lady Michelle Obama-inspired physical activity stamp series due to safety concerns, a Postal Service spokesman confirmed to The Daily Caller Thursday.
The stamps are on hold with the printer and we have not made a decision at this point, right now, with respect to how we are going to move forward, the USPS spokesman told TheDC. Some of the illustrations on some of the stamps in the series, the spokesman explained, feature activities that some might not consider safe like doing a cannonball into a swimming pool.

Mybe he’ll send in a DRONE!!
Hope one of them is her husband on a girls bicycle with a helmet, knee guards and elbow guards, that says it all!
Physical Activity can be dangerous...in the age of Obamacare.
They will repeat this fiction until it becomes the truth; that moose hasn’t inspired anyone. Our welfare herds are still rife with obesity and diabetes, and nobody else even listens to Chewbacca...
The LAST thing in the world I want to see is the mooch in a bathing suit, any kind of bathing suit emptying a pool by doing a cannonball.
Only a mental case would have a panic attack over a stamp.
You would have to believe a kid would see a stamp for a few seconds and imitate the stamp and hurt themselves but at the same time a kid can play a video game killing people for hours/days/weeks on end and not have it affect them.
The mental case that made this decision needs to go.
How is doing a cannonball into a pool “unsafe”? I’ve seen it done thousands of time and never once did anyone get hurt. I’ve seen a lot more injuries from jogging than from doing a cannonball.
Excellent point.
So many great comments on this here and elsewhere. Yours was the best.
we had some soft headed teachers at our elementary that wanted to prohibit the boys from throwing footballs at recess. The parents told them in no uncertain terms where to stuff it
The Food Nazis meet the Safety Nazis.
Who does a headstand in a helmet? And what kind of helmet is that? Are there headstand helmets these days? Will a bicycle helmet do?
I had no idea that cannonball was out too.
I’m so glad I had my childhood when I did...
Looks like they somehow found the world’s first striped man to pose for the pictures.
I was under the impression that these stamps were going to be destroyed. At any rate, I wonder how much they have already cost the American taxpayer?
The absurdity of Michelle Let them eat kale Antoinette and President Pee Wee engaging in their endless narcissism is just so sadly hilarious. Can it really be that, even as the USPS stars as the lead in Dysfunctional Bankruptcy, Wookie Woman trashes an expensive print run of these stamps? Her politically correct sensabilities are offended after all. How incredibly self-important, how conceited she is, to believe that her selection of the perfect images on some stamps will end sloth among the physically unfit. It is THAT EGOTISM which drives these utopian tyrants. President Nero and Michelle Peron know best! Once one recognizes such intense Hubris, the grandiose calamity that is the Obama administration, becomes frighteningly clear.
And what would happen if a kid took one of those dangerous stamps to a school where those activities were forbidden??
“cannonball” promotes violence against water.
I wouldn’t lick anything assoicated with Michelle Obama
