The Postal Service Is Getting Sued for Accidentally Using a 'Sexier' Statue of Liberty on Its Stamp

When the Postal Service released its commemorative Statue of Liberty Forever Stamp three years ago, one astute philatelist noticed that Lady Liberty was looking a little lovelier than usual. Her hooded eyes, pouty lips, and delicately arched eyebrows didn't quite match up with the mistress that's presided over New York's "huddled masses" for generations.

And with good reason. The design for the stamp was accidentally modeled on the half-size replica at Las Vegas's New York-New York Hotel and Casino. And now, to add some real injury to that insult, the artist of Vegas Lady Liberty is suing for copyright infringement.
