Consider that Seinfeld was popular in the 1990’s, making this clip nearly 20 years old, so questions concerning carried mail’s obsolescence have clearly been in the cultural forefront for some time, and people still use carried-mail, or “snail-mail”. To say that Email is superior because it is newer and faster is to miss a huge part of the question. But this clip is also interesting because it deals with certain issues we face when we ask ourselves the question: Which is better, carried mail or electronic mail? This clip is hilarious for the way the eccentric character, Newman, paints a portrait of the USPS as this ominous villainous corporation, which we know is obviously untrue. We all remember the episode of Seinfeld in which the beloved Kramer attempts to cancel his Mail Service.
