He doesn't deserve it.

TPiR models won't buy it.  Most of them have already touched and licked Barker.

RTFA, looks like there's been some skin that's been put through its paces.

And then there's the pics of Barker.

He doesn't deserve it.

How so?  In this context it makes complete sense.  Not that I'm the biggest PeTA fan - but that's not the issue here.

It's not the PETA issue, it's the fact that he's vetoed so many episodes of TPIR, especially the ones from when his era of the show was in its prime. How can I support a man who's done such a beyond horrific thing?

It's not the PETA issue, it's the fact that he's murdered so many people, especially the ones from when his era of the show was in its prime. How can I support a man who's done such a beyond horrific thing?

Oh, I'm sorry. That's what you should have said to warrant a proper use of the word "horrific."

With all the questionable things Barker's done over the years, this is the one you choose to label "beyond horrific?"

Get a clue.

Clearly, someone is NOT moving on to my bonus round.

It's bugging the hell out of me that this is being reported as if these were "real" stamps being issued by the Postal Service. PETA is just ordering a bunch of sheets from stamps.com with famous vegetarians on them. You can go there and order valid personalized stamps with pretty much anything you want on them. I got a bunch with my neighbor's dog on them for his Christmas present about 5 years ago.

Here's an article about the one with Russel Simmons on it that has a better look at what kind of stamp it is.

When these personalized stamps first came out, The Smoking Gun decided to see what they could get away with, and they got Hitler on a stamp.

Not quite.  

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, Linda Tripp, Slobodan Milosevic, Jimmy Hoffa, Nicolae Ceaucescu, NJ Gov. James McGreevey and friend, and Ted Kaczynski, for those keeping score at home in 2004.

Now, see, I was wondering about that when I looked at them really close. That actually makes a TON more since considering that the article I linked was barely ten weeks old, and you'd think there would be a fair amount more lag time before a decree like that and the first official stamps.

I shall go out of my way to be a Person Eating a Tasty Animal tomorrow in their honor.

Now see, Joe? THIS is the epitome of epic fail.
