NY Daily News They really scrooged over a bunch of poor kids. A trio of Postal Service renegades stole gifts from Secret Santas intended for underprivileged children, federal prosecutors charged Wednesday. The scam ran through the Postal Service’s Operation Santa program, in which personal information on real wish lists bound for the North Pole is redacted and the desired items are entered into a database. Good Samaritans can then peruse the letters and fulfill a child’s wishes. But three bad elves were only interested in stuffing their own stockings with electronics, clothes and even a toy train, prosecutors said.

Naturally the first reaction is outrage. It’s pure lunacy that these assholes tried to, in essence, steal from under privileged children.

Now call me crazy, but when my mind thinks of under privileged kids I’m thinking of Oliver Twist trying to find his next meal.

These “under privledge kids are coming out of Operation Santa with more gadgets than the privileged kids… iPad? Laptops? Seriously? I was expecting these clowns were stealing blankets and earmuffs, not a pair of Beats by Dre.

Imagine being the kid who just gets the printer and no laptop. You finally get your letter pulled and your expensive present doesn’t do you a damn bit of good.

It still takes a special brand of scumbag to steal from kids but maybe we should reevaluate the kids that are “underprivledged” and take care of the starving one who freeze to sleep on Christmas.
