According to Linn’s Stamp News, the US Postal Service has now been forced to destroy the entire run of stamps based on Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative.

That’s because three of the stamps showed children doing unsafe activities: one showed a child jumping cannonball-style into water; a second showed a child skateboarding without kneepads; a third showed a child doing a headstand without a helmet.

Come on, wear a helmet to do a head stand???? 
I also noticed that the kid playing soccer wasn't wearing shin guards.

Are they going to replace these with stamps showing a bubblewrap suit, or is that too dangerous as well. 

How did I ever survive skating with a skate key on a shoelace around my neck?

I'm guessing it was the two showing kids upside down...one is a cartwheel and the other looks like a hand stand...

I guess jumping out of 2nd story windows into a gravel pile and catching freight trains for a ride to the good fishing pond would be no no's too.

Just another piece in the puzzle to turn America into the biggest bunch of pu$$ies on the planet.

Similar to so many people wanting "free" stuff from the govt, not realizing that self-determination is no longer part of the equation.
And they vote...

Look on the bright side Mitch.
When the system fails they will all die leaving more resources to the rest of us.

What's so dangerous about doing a cannonball into a pool? (Unless you're drunk and doing it from the roof of your house.)

Depends on whether or not there is WATER in the pool.   :o

What kind of a liberal nanny are you  ???  Cannonball from the roof is a required skill in 99.9% of groups I frequent  ;D

Hell, I knew if I'd bought a run of those Nancy Reagan stamps teaching kids to play Lawn Darts I'd be a millionaire! ;D Lord, I love it when the nanny state bites Flotus in the azz.

This is funny.... "destroying stamps for depicting unsafe acts"........... with the USPS being so far in the red ink, you'd think they'd sell stamps with serial killers or kids playing with grenades if it meant income.
