3. monkey-wrench idea: print up this info, slip into toy boxes at Wal-Mart

--I have long wanted to put together a flyer, best would be with a picture of a child sweatshop laborer, with the headline: "Merry Christmas! Please remember the child who suffered to make this toy," then the facts that you have linked to (which I have long wished I had), and then fold these up and surreptitiously stick them into the Barbie etc. boxes at Wal-Mart, for the kiddies to find on Xmas morning.
