I hope you have some human doing image QC or I envision a long conversation with Postal Inspectors regarding all the dick pic postcards that you're sending.

BTW, that said, this reminds me a little bit of rather elegant app developed by Bill Atikinson, "Photo Card", which aims to convert photos in iOS to postcards on demand.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that 'Jeff' is at least glancing at each photo before sending it out. (In between complaining about the name and the lack of an app, at least.)

Or maybe they're having the interns do it.

EDIT: That or they're using an algorithm. Lol love the dry copy.

Those exist? I thought that nobody (including the government) was supposed to look at, touch, or investigate mail (except from prisons IIRC)

They're federal agents within the Postal Service.

Legally, you can't mail any "obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance"

Interesting. How do porn magazines, fleshlights, etc ship?

Inside a brown paper package or envelope, unlike a postcard.

So the inspectors can only look at the packaging, not touch them?
