Tha Confederate States of DreamWorks are not amused, sah!

If you are implying that we are nothing but a bunch of middle-aged children. I would agree, sir.

We've been outraged, without reason, about the price of postage for decades.

It's not the fact that it is Toy Story that bugs me. It is the fact that the United States Postal Service in general is advertising a new movie. It reminds me of the scene from Futurama where Nixon was advertising Charleston chews.

I don't think this is the first time a movie has been promoted by the Post Office... but I can't remember the other one... but it's niggling at the back of my memory...

Postal? The Postman?

How is this particularly different from companies buying direct mail? It's better actually (for USPS) because they can make money without having to increase their delivery volume.

Not sure how worth it the service is for advertisers, especially since there's no way to click-to-buy tickets in this case, but it's Disney, so I assume they have their numbers worked out.

man, I don't remember, but it was a longer time ago than Postal.. meh.. don't remember.

I agree. The USPS is doing something innovative that is more 20th century than the normal 19th century. If it brings them money then I say good for them!

It must just be me than cause when I see it just irks me. It just seems a short hop and a skip till we get to having the President advertising Pepsi or something during the middle of a speech

Don't be ridiculous, Hylian.

He'd advertise delicious Coca-Cola.

The USPS has been an independent entity since 1971. What's the beef?

As long as the President stays Pro-Skub I don't care what other products he pimps.

You son of a bitch.

I'm not bothered by this, but I do think it poses some interesting implications. If they can advertise a movie, can they advertise a religion of it's willing to pay? I remember the CoLDS used to have TV ads all the time.
