Droids & Your Mail

This is a bit off subject -- okay, it's a lot off subject -- but is anyone else disturbed that the US Postal Service is so eager to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars? I went to usps.com today to track a package and I was asked to choose my allegiance -- am I with the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire? ("I just want to track a package!") The Postal Service has also turned 400 mailboxes in 200 cities into R2-D2. ("When you look at a mailbox, the resemblance to R2-D2 is too good to pass up!") Of course there is a dude tracking where they all pop up. Has anyone seen one of these alleged mailbox droids?
