The US Post Office is so desperate for money, they hope to boost stamp sales by ditching the rule that requires people to be dead for at least five years before being honored with a postage stamp.
They say they now plan to let living people appear on stamps, provided they’ve “made enduring contributions to the US.” They’re encouraging Americans to visit their Facebook page and submit their five favorite living picks for stamp honorees.
- Hello? We already have a stamp featuring someone who’s still alive: Elvis!
- Speaking of Elvis, If I get one letter in the mail with a “Justin Bieber Stamp” on it, I’m marking it “Return To Sender”.
- They already tried making a stamp of Kim Kardashian’s butt… but it was bigger than the envelope.
- People are really gonna get confused when they put Fifty Cent on on a 44 cent stamp.
