See The Image Too Hot For The Postal Service image
Apparently it's just a week for censorship around here. Just a day after the blow-up over Amazon blocking gay content, director Adam Rifkin is struggling with another major institution that thinks his stuff is too hot to handle. He planned to mail postcards to promote the DVD release of his new movie, Look, but apparently the United States Postal Service took one look the sexually suggestive image and stamped "Censor" all over it.

As reported by Pop Culture Zoo (which found the story first in The New York Post), the postcard for Look has been labeled "too obscene" for the post office to carry it. The site also included the offensive image, which you can see above-- just a couple caught in the act in a company storage room, with all their genitalia, faces, and pretty much everything hidden.

As Rifkin himself says in the video embedded below, showing his reaction to the censorship, this image is nothing compared to the promotional postcards you might be handed on the Vegas strip or even to get people into a given nightclub. Below that, you can see a trailer for the film. Look is a small movie that probably needs all the promotion it can get, and the choice by the Postal Service is as bizarre as, well, Amazon blocking gay content.
