As if it weren't bad enough that some people don't like Christmas peace wreaths in their housing developments, Shana Weiss over at HuffPo reports that some people don't like cupcakes - even when eight-year-olds are the ones making them! Weiss tried to order some PhotoStamps of her son in his "Make Cupcakes Not War" t-shirt, and the company rejected her order because the image she used "makes a political statement."
Because, Goddess forbid, we wouldn't want people making political statements with their stamps now, would we? People's faces might fall off if they see a cupcake stamp!
What's farcical is that this isn't even a partisan political statement; it's a pacifist one. It's not like the shirt reads "Assassinate The President", or "Liberals Taste Best Deep-Fried in Vegetable Oil." You'd think that parents of any political stripe would bristle at a company dictating what they can and cannot print on their own damn stamps. Too bad Weiss didn't name precisely which company delivered the Anti-War Smackdown; I'd love to know who NOT to give my moolah to.
