Life Imitates Art: Despicable US Postal Service

Gru: "We stole the Statue of Liberty!  … The small one from Las Vegas."

USPS: uses an artist's version of the Statue of Liberty – the small one from Las Vegas – on a postage stamp without the artist's permission.

In the movie, I don't think Gru had to pay anyone $3.5 million to compensate for the theft.

Evidently the USPS needs better minions.
