Ever since the death of Princess Diana, I've been deluged with spam for Diana-themed junk. I think we can all agree that the best way to honor the tragedy is to buy Diana T-shirts, dinnerware sets, and postage stamps.

The stamps are available for a short time while supplies last at their original issue price of $9.95 (plus $3 postage and handling) for the complete set of nine different stamps.

Horrible!

How DARE you print stamps with photos of Diana's tragic auto accident? What an impossibly cynical act! I am shocked and horrified. Who would ever send letters with Diana's grisly carnage on the stamps? An outrage!

This madness must stop!

If you would look at http://www.dicom.com you would notice that the stamps have nothing to do with Diana's tragic accident. The stamps were issued before her death to commemorate her charitable acts and contributions to humanity. The stamps picture her in some lovely gowns. There is a picture of the stamps at http://www.dicom.com



Is it just me, or do those drawings look straight out of McCall's?
