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 (cannonball dive, skateboarding without kneepads and a headstand without a helmet). (There’s also a batter without a batting helmet, a girl balancing on a slippery rock, and a soccer player without kneepads or shin pads.)
and how much physical awareness is going to be raised with postage stamps anyway?lol but as most of us all know, when you have other peoples money to burn without consequence, this idiocy will be commonplace.
This kind of wasteful, politically directed decision-making is why governments CANNOT RUN HEALTH CARE NOR ANYTHING ELSE.
Government is simply incapable of making rational or reasoned decisions, which is why they were restricted by the Constitution from every doing ANY of this crapola.
Why don't they come out with something for sedentary seniors? Might get some of the Tea Partiers out of their mobility scooters and reduce our Medicare costs.
No worries, its only our tax dollars their wasting USPS to Destroy ‘Just Move’ Stamp Series Over Safety Concerns | Postal Blog

To think that we live in a society where people actually base their activities on what they see on stamps *and* the government is concerned that somebody is gonna get hurt and sue them.
Whatever.
How much taxpayer money was wasted on this debacle? Millions, I'll wager.
