With the Just Move! stamp issuance the U.S. Postal Service hoped to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity in achieving a healthy lifestyle. However, according to Linns Stamp News, the USPS will be destroying the entire press run after receiving concerns from the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition over alleged “unsafe” acts depicted on three of the stamps...

The cannonball is NOT a dive. It is a jump usually from a diving board.

Intention: to get attention and to soak those sitting by the pool.

The one chance fat guys have for getting attention before they sink to the bottom of the pool.

Now, if Michelle did a cannonball, she would sink the USS Missouri, a thousand miles away and leave an impact crater about 60 feet wide.

I don’t think we are a crazy country because the Post Office withdraws these stamps, but because the Post Office HAD TO withdraw these stamps, or else to risk having to feed the trough of trial lawyers faithfully serving your greedy parasitic fellow citizens.

Yes, they will be destroyed, except for the few handed out to select people.

Cannonballs were the first thing we’d do when jumping in the water where the alligator lived.

Did you notice that the “Forever” label on the stamp was lined through? Does that mean that they can cancel these at any time and demand you pay MORE to feed Michelle’s obsession with controlling the nation?

I don’t care about the unsafe acts on three of the stamps.

I wouldn’t buy them because it would help the wookies cause.

Good golly Miss Molly, that top photo.
She’s got buttocks like a mare Clydesdale!
And she’s nagging us to move?
Move out of the way in the buffet line!

Yeah, when I was a kid, doing that would be hazardous to your health, because you’d be painting a “DORK” target on your back, and the feeding frenzy would soon commence.

Me neither, but this is soooo stupid.

Forget the helmet and knee pads. I wouldn’t want any my kids attempting any of those activities without eyes and sufficient facial breathing orifices.

Seriously though, if this is a true news item, I hope it serves as a good enough excuse for Rush Limbaugh to again dust off his old “Keep Our Own Kids Safe” campaign and PSA for a bit of delightful, satirical nostalgia.

Also, given that the stamps’ verbiage includes such dubious terms as “pump”, “shoot”, and “cannonball” it’s likely the Obama administration was reacting to the thinly veiled sinister plot by the evil gun lobby to hijack the content of these stamps.

Besides that, adding those inflammatory words to a substantial percentage of postal correspondence envelopes would produce so much pinging noise for the NSA, they’d never have enough time to keep up with all their spying on our private email messages and twitter feeds.

It’s time to redesign the American Flag. Don’t use cloth, oh no, use BUBBLE WRAP. Wrap up the Bald Eagle in red, white are blue BUBBLE WRAP. We need a National Glove too. Latex, powdered, antiseptic, what should we do?

Makes you wonder how many of the uncut sheets of the
“destroyed” stamps will end up in the hands of Obama,
his wife and their supporters... just like printing money.

What a moronic waste of taxpayers’ money. Just another reason why the obsolete Postal Service is dying a slow, painful death by incompetence. Soon to be replaced entirely by far more efficient private sector entities like UPS and Fedex.
