Deutsche Post issues Rudolf Hess stamp
Neo-Nazis have left Germany's Deutsche Post rather red-faced after using its "design-your-own" stamp service - Plusbrief Individuell - to issue a limited edition Rudolf Hess stamp.

I could soon be receiving pictures of dicks, dorks and drugs on my international mail... hope no-one sends anything to manchester museum... (currently covering up mummified genitalia in case of offence).
Is there intelligent life on Earth?
Pfennig Black
I'm guessing if these are valid stamps they are now hot collectors items.
Sounds like a nice idea...
...for people who want to use this service in good faith. I suppose there's always a risk in a free country that people will abuse their freedoms, but it's a small price to pay.
I hope the irony isn't lost on the neo-nazis.

Pfenning Black? Presumably not. Pfennig Aryan, perhaps.
Unintended consequences..
So, did Rudolph Hess like to be licked on his backside then?
The lab coat with the pliers, please.
Ah, those fun loving Nazi pranksters...
...no doubt they think they are real wits. I guess they're half right.
Bomber Harris

"But those 20 envelopes won't affect German democracy."
But how can we be sure? Perhaps Germany will become a Nazi dictatorship again due to the existence of twenty - a whole twenty, god help us! - Rudolph Hess stamps.

What a bloody good idea
I'm off to buy a stack of Alex Salmond stamps right now.
@ Andy Livingstone
What do you want from Mr Samond in return?
Remember, philately will get you nowhere!

@Pat Dougan
See Braveheart.
Cry Freedom.
You get to keep Pa' Broon.
It's been done better
There were some American artists that pre-upped the Neo-Nazis: check out their work here: http://www.badpressbooks.com/mhdl.html

"I suppose there's always a risk in a free country that people will use their freedoms."
Fixed that typo for you.
jackbooted philatelists?
That's an image that will probably wake me up screaming, tonight...
Better late than never
THIS KIND OF THING SHOULD BE STAMPED OUT! Sorry but it had to be said.
