The United States Postal Service has a rather amusing new web series, [Mark of the Eagle](http://www.markoftheeagle.com/). In this obviously tongue-in-cheek series, a letter carrier teams up with some employees of a company as they fight against the technology gone mad. At least it’s more entertaining than _The Postman_.

That’s pretty funny. My postal worker husband hadn’t even heard about this.

_The Postman_ is a great movie. Will Patton is phenomenal in it. Most people who bash it haven’t even seen it.

Guilty as charged. It seemed like the obvious joke to end the description.
