I recently got some mail at the house that looked very much like it came from the Government.  If you live in Canada, you know the sort. A generic brown envelope with a crinkly plastic window and some pre-printed rubbish on it that sounded like some government agency.  I tend to view my government mail like I view my government: I go in anticipating confusion, tedium, and disappointment, but not expecting anything of any real consequence for my day to day life.

What I found inside was not from my government at all.  I found an insult to my intelligence and either a failed attempt to be clever and ironic, or a blatant attempt to be misleading, intended to separate me from my money.
