Mmmmm..... Simpsons stamps
Posted by David Warner on Sat, May 9, 2009 at 10:21 AM
If you are among the few remaining humans who still use postage stamps, then this is a no-brainer (d'oh!). I mean, why wouldn't you want stamps commemorating America's First Family? No, not the Obamas, whose turn will undoubtedly come, but Homer, Marge, Maggie, Bart and Lisa.
The U.S. Postal Service officially released the new stamp designs on Thursday (though voting on America's favorite Simpson stamp has been going on since April 9). The Simpson family's godfather was understandably touched by the attention, reported the New York Times via Reuters:
The stamps commemorate the 20th anniversary of “The Simpsons,” which received its own Fox series in December 1989. James L. Brooks, the executive producer of the show, told Reuters, “We are emotionally moved by the Postal Service selecting us rather than making the lazy choice of someone who has benefited society.”
