Amnesty International has an online petition running at the moment urging the US government to close its Caribbean gulag at Guantanamo Bay. But its not just an ordinary petition - it takes the form of an "online flotilla", in which you design your little Wii-person, stick them on a boat (or surfboard, or sea-serpent), and send them off in a virtual protest fleet to Guantanamo.
You can sign up here. If you'd like to do something else, there's a list here.

Only 6 from China - wonder how they got through... Interesting concept though

MTNW: Yeah. It's the first time they've done this, but they've also tried other petition styles recently as well - for example the million faces campaign against the arms trade, and a similar video petition against Guantanamo.
