Art postal X et timbres en bois / XXX mail-art and wooden stamps

Via Mediatic: l'artiste et blogueur pionnier Philippe De Jonckeere est irrité par certains politiciens américains et leur combat contre les "arts crus".
Dans un geste de protestation poétique, il a envoyé par la poste américaine 25 enveloppes fabriquées à partir de photos porno. La poste américaine a délivré 24 d'entre elles sans problèmes. Ses explications sont ici en français.

Moins subversif mais original: La Poste suisse émettra en septembre son premier timbre en bois et les files d'attente continuent en Autriche pour acheter le timbre à l'effigie d'un Arnold Schwarzenegger assez rigide.

Via Mediatic: French artist and pioneer blogger Philippe De Jonckeere is irritated by American politicians who wage war against the "crude arts." In a poetic gesture of protest, he mailed 25 letters wrapped in porno photos. The U.S. Postal Service delivered 24 of them without a glitch. His explanations are posted here in French.

Less subversive but also original: the Swiss postal services will publish its first stamp made of wood this September, and Austrians are still lining up to buy a stamp featuring a rather wooden-looking Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So, is that Schwarzenegger stamp self-adhesive or does one have to lick it? (Shudder)

He he he.
Fleshbot did well by mentioning that this project is 10 years old. Would it be possible to mail this safely in today's America?
