Full frontal nudist labels?

Re: 'Wife's image not worth a lick with Canada Post' (April 18)

So Canada Post's printer refused a photo in its customized stamp program because maple leaf flags were covering a woman's breasts. Such immaturity on the part of this Crown corporation and its agents is not new.

There's a solution, though. The Calgary photographer whose photos were censored could get address labels printed.

Big ones.

He could even use a photo of his wife fully naked, just like the ones she says are hanging in her family home.

Friends of mine have done that and better: their return address label shows them both (wife and husband) in full frontal nudity in a dense garden as many naturists present themselves. Canada Post would of course miss what "naked in the garden" is about.

Probably it would refuse to carry envelopes with such photos. (Psst: one made its way to me.) But what if more people used "naked" address labels? Many more? Maybe the nudist lifestyle would catch on?

Given what some folks send to Internet photo sites, isn't this a good possibility?
