Also, they just added a UK hospital in Liverpool, for those across the pond on the fence.

Child's play gets me to donate every year.. good job! I especially like that there is now local hospitals that you can donate to.

Holy crap! At this rate, they're going to break that little thermometer thing on the Child's Play page half way through December.

But video games cause innocent young people to kill! Plus, those awful young men use very bad words.

Seriously though, every time I talk to someone who's fallen for the whole "Seduction of the Innocent" shtick--amazingly enough, this has happened several times--I calmly load up the Child's Play website.

And then I cap their ass.
