‘Tis the season for charities, like the Salvation Army, to remind us of the less fortunate while soliciting donations of money, food goods, and toys for tots.
Except toys from the Harry Potter and Twilight movies... which are expected to be among the most popular gifts this holiday season.
In Canada, the Salvation Army has taken to throwing those specific toys away.

But don’t worry; toy guns, like replica M-16s, are propertly sorted into the “10 and up” bin for distribution to the needy. Nothing like giving a kid in the ghetto a plastic gun to start him off on the right foot. Praise Jeebus!
Personally, I don't care if they want to censor what toys they give out... but accepting the toys from people and then trashing them? That's uncool. (And I don't believe for a moment that they pass them along to other charities.)
