# Provocative Stamps

Remember this image?

This stamp was on a postcard sent to me from Jordan by Trevor. The
caption reads “The Martyr Mohammed Al Dorra.” Jordan is supposedly
moderate.

The postcard itself is actually of Petra, but it’s not very effective as
an advertisement. How did sorry pictures of pots make the grade?
Trevor’s first sentence is “I bought this postcard because it makes
something that is truly amazing and worth the A\$75 [US\$35] entrance
fee, seem, well, crap.”
