Tom Of Finland: Stamps Of Finland

In September-October 2014, Itella Posti will release seven new sets of stamps, containing a total of 33 new designs. It is a great collection to choose from; the subjects of the new stamps include male drawings by Tom of Finland, autumnal yard and garden scenes painted by Urpo Martikainen, and Jaakko Tähti's photos of Finnish bridges. Other subjects for the end-of-the-year stamps include signs of sky and the change in everyday Finland - and, of course, Christmas.

Apparently this is an actual thing.

Can anyone verify this?

Meanwhile, back in the USA, the postal office show slightly more decorum...


Update: This 'gay stamps' story became quite a thing. I don't like to endlessly go on about how hopeless many journalists are, but, by way of but one example, type 'Tom Finland' into Google News and see how it took three to four days for both the gay and straight media to notice this was happening.

I do this as a hobby, why can't you do your job?

    What about a Tom Daley stamp, of the old sort that you have to lick to stick?

    NSFW

    It can't be long before Germany release some shockingly extreme gay fisting pig porn image stamps... :(
