This happens daily via email threads, and more prominent media, that are passed around. Recently I was told that President Obama had replaced all forever stamps with stamps that celebrate an Isalamic holiday. Clearly false, but had made its rounds among a large group of people. Don't under estimate the stupidity and gullibility of a very large population.
