Writer's Block: Book review

What (if any) books would you ban from a high school library? Are there certain subjects that you feel are inappropriate for teenagers regardless of literary merit?

I would only ban books that are badly written, an example would be the 'Twilight' series. Because that book is badly written, in addition, to unrealistic (the characters are annoying and very 2-D in terms of personality).

As for inappropriate books for teenagers: even if there were inappropriate books within a high school library, the odds that teenagers would voluntarily step into a library and read a book are slim to none; so it doesn't really matter.

This is so not from my childhood, I honestly can't remember any good commericals from the early '90s .... so I decided just to post my favourite commerical ever.  It is an Ideal Toys commerical from '66 with some of the Muppets!

That's a hard question since in my opinion, death is a surprise unless you happen to be on death row.  So my answer is : surprise me!
