Did you know it's illegal to obstruct or retard the passage of U.S. Mail?

18 U.S. Code § 1701 - Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail, or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Apparently, the Herald-Mail was unaware of this law. This paper box was completely blocking a mailbox. How's that for "What's wrong with this picture?"
