Child's Play up and running

Accepting donations.

Child's Play has started accepting donations for its 2007 campaign to deliver toys, games, books and cash to sick children in over 45 hospitals around the world - including one in the UK, actually.

The campaign - set up by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of the Penny Arcade web-comic - uses Amazon wish lists to buy various games and other goodies for the poorly littluns, and also accepts cash donations via PayPal or telephone.

Check out the website for more details on how to get involved, or just buy Transformers on DVD for Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool. Go on, you'll feel better. And they presumably will too, which is obviously the idea. Although, actually, Barbie - The Magic of Pegasus sounds better, and has the added benefit of not being a Michael Bay film.
