Three years ago Jeff Seymour, of Carlsbad, California wanted to help out the troops. So he started a program called “Magazines and Movies for the Troops.” With donated magazines and movies from Transworld Media and many other Southern California souces Seymour hoped to spread a little love from home, according to a story in the San Diego City Beat.
Now it looks like most of those donations ended up getting dumped straight into a San Diego landfill. According to the paper a supervisor at the Miramar landfill witnessed “a group of Marines dump as many as six pallets full of the donations—magazines, books, DVDs and hygiene products, packed in boxes plainly marked “For Our Troops in Iraq”—into the landfill last summer.”
“Transworld Media donated thousands of magazines, most of them so new they still hadn’t hit the stands yet,” he says. “They donated cases of beanies—like those skullcaps that kids wear—worth about $20 apiece. I asked them, ‘Do you think the troops will wear these?’ And they replied, ‘Hey, do you know how cold it gets over there?’
Guess, we’ll never know. For the rest of the Marine Corp FUBAR follow the jump.

Let that be a lesson to you – no good deed goes unpunished.
If you really want to do something worthwhile, go and adopt a dog or cat out of local shelter and give it a good home.
What a bunch of losers!
I mean, if they really didnt want it they should of just came out and said, “Thanks, but no thanks.” instead of tossing perfectly good mags , beanies, etc.. Someone could of appreciated the gester…. unlike OUR TROOPS. And the person who ordered them to toss it. That guy is a fuck and if he ever came to Alta, Utah probably would give him the worst customer service. Someone like that isnt worth my time. what a Fuck
yeah! Transworld surf is Trash! I did the same thing when I got a shipment of that smut. Seriously, our troops probably don’t need soft porn designed for 15 year olds. Hey Chris Cote please stop, before it’s too late.
