It's about who he was at one point or another, not what you think he became. By the way, what did you think he 'became'?

I think he wouldn't appear, as i recall hearing that once or twice too. I dont know if it was true, but it wouldn't surprise me, he did have an ego. I dont think it was about his videos, he fought to get the damn things on there repeatedly.

Yes to both. Pre-Pepsi picture on the stamp.

So if he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was absolved of all his sins, that wouldn't be good enough for the United States Postal Service? But it's good enough for God?

I agree. To be honest, I'm surprised he hasn't been on a stamp already. I guess I never paid attention to stamps. Do you really have to be dead to be on a stamp? I hear the "five years thing" a lot in this thread. Does that not count if it's an actor as their character, like if they made an Indiana Jones stamp and had Ford's picture while he is alive?
