  1. Sally Ann bans Harry Potter and Twilight toys | Canada | News | Toronto Sun<\/a> – So it’s okay to give them toy guns, but not toy wizards. Well, that makes a load of sense. Not. (Also, note various inconsistencies as to whether the Evil Toys are passed onto other charities, or simply thrown away.)
