from the top of the miniature one in Las Vegas, party on folks.
Yep, no joke. Oops USPS. Apparently a Statue of Liberty "Super fan" noticed some small differences and the article ran in a stamp magazine--which I find amusing that such a thing even exists. USPS were notified and said they're leaving it, but they're going to look into how images are processed so they don't have another rather embarrassing mess up again.Can you tell which one is the real one?
Fake on left and now on millions of stamps. And that's what I call funny.
2. Ever heard of Altoona, PA? Well, really, who has. But don't worry about it because starting April 27, it will officially be named, "Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever sold." Also, no joke.
For 60 days of a new name, the city gets $25,000. The dude that did the "Supersize Me" movie is doing one on advertising, and I love it. Cities and government are known for policy, stuffiness and red tape, so this just makes me plain happy, and the mayor too! He said, "We're really excited about it..." And that's what I call entertaining.
3. Josh and I discovered this one night and our wheels started to spin. Is this for real? Can we really get our CA mortgage paid for 3-12 months while our house is painted with an ad on it and then GET IT REPAINTED for us in it's original colors at the end of it? Yes, it's for real and yes, we considered it. Three reasons:
1. You get your mortgage paid while you have it painted like an ad. That alone is almost worth it.
2. You get your house repainted at the end, which I'm dying to have done.
3. It's amusing.
The only downside as far as I see it? We have to have it painted back to our original colors, which I think would just make me sick to see all that effort going into making something ugly again. If this is for you, check out how to do it here. See, even this house looks way better than ours with the ad on it. And that's what I call a good idea.
Q: What do you think? Would you do the ads?

Um, my brother and sister-in-law used to LIVE in Altoon, PA! They just moved from there maybe 4 years ago. How crazy i that? I can't wait to tell them.
And I can totally see you and Josh doing the painted ads thing. I have some friends who did that with their car and they actually loved it! They just hammed it up and made it fun.
I can't believe they Lived there!! That is so nuts! How fun. Who did they go through for the car? I love that!
UM. Guess what Jake and I will be talking about tonight?!! Painting our house!!!!! Seriously, this is awesome!!!!!!!!! For the reasons you mentioned! Besides the awesomeness of getting your mortgage paid, how sweet to be part of something so insanely hilarious? I think Jake might be slightly hesitant since he sided the house himself, but nothing like an easy buck!!
How hilarious is the Statue of Liberty? Geesh. Time to get someone to double check your work!
Wow, so if I buy a house that I really can't afford and get Paul and Amy to co-sign so I can actually get it, and then have an ad painted on it, it will be paid for? That is psycho. I'm totally linking to this entry.
