There is a funny story about a royal commemorative stamp honoring the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, which has a perforation between the two of them so that you can separate them easily. They are saying that this is a bad mistake, but, seriously, this may end up being perfect for stamp collectors and royals fans. You see, if/when they find out that Prince William has a mistress, they can simply make new stamps of the mistress, and then you could pull apart the Kate and William stamps, and put the mistress stamp in between Kate and William. Except that they should make two sets of these Kate and William stamps: one where they’re smiling like they are, and then a set where they’re looking angry. Then you could put a stamp of their friends or the Queen or whoever between them in the smiling stamps (like they’re posing for a photo together), and then put the mistresses or royals critics in between the angry, frowning ones so that it looks like a tabloid photo spread. Then you could write your own scandalous headline and story on the envelope, and still mail the letter and have it delivered (since they are real postage stamps), maybe even to the happy couple themselves with a greeting card or something inside. See how much fun it could be? Too bad it's only for some obscure South Pacific island. I think if enough people lobbied the US Postal Service, maybe we could get them to make some for us too.
Hey, the Post Office is broke, right? Maybe making joke novelty scandal stamps of celebrities would be a good way to raise revenue, like for example, a stamp of Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton, and then sell separately a stamp of prison bars with empty space between the bars, so that you could stick them over the stamp of Lindsay Lohan's (or whoever's) face. Also, when a celebrity gets arrested for the first time, they could sell their mug shot as a stamp. And then they could sell like missing teeth smile stamps or messy bed-head hair stamps or big reefer stamps or tattoo stamps or mustache and glasses stamps that you could stick over the faces of the celebrities you wanted to make fun of, and each accessory stamp would be worth some money amount, so that if you had to mail a letter or package that cost an odd amount to send, you could stick all of these funny things on top of the faces of celebrities you didn't like until they added up to the right amount of postage to mail it. With the tabloid culture we have here in America, they could make a lot of money and create millions of new stamp collectors. Hey, it's an idea, right?
