It’s no joke. Via PostalMag.com, the United States Postal Service “will be destroying the entire press run [of Let’s Move stamps] after receiving concerns from the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition over alleged ‘unsafe’ acts depicted on three of the stamps.” The kid doing the cannonball is the worst offender, allegedly, followed by stamps depicting skateboarding without elbow and knee pads and a headstand without a helmet.

More, please! In the meantime; a FLOTUS-approved replacement stamp has already been created.
