The U.S. Postal Service has canceled an experiment that allowed people to make postage stamps using images of their dogs, babies and even, it turned out, outlaws such as the Unabomber.

Stamps.com, based in Santa Monica, said this week that its PhotoStamps program has ended for now while the U.S. Postal Service re-evaluates the program.

The company launched the program in August with Postal Service backing. It allowed people to upload vacation, wedding or just about any other kind of photo to a Web site, then have the photo placed in a variety of borders and turned into legal postage.

Last month, Stamps.com revised the program to prohibit photos of adults and teenagers after pranksters claimed some success in getting pictures of notorious adults, including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, past the company's censors.

1. well if any (2 face)are out there in circulation

they'll be collector's items hopefully soon worth some $$.

esp. if they were postmarked showing they were sent before the ban.
