Finally, a victory for the U.S. Postal Service! Not much of one, granted, but they'll take it. The USPS has gotten Burger King to modify an ad in which a mailman admits he sloughed off his responsibilities in order to feast on the chain's French toast sticks and Double Crossain'wich. The Postal Service's specific objection was that BK used its logo and uniform without permission, which historically they've been touchy about, especially if they get made fun of in the process.
