Did you know that the word boycott entered the English language during the Irish "Land War" and is derived from the name of Captain Charles Boycott, the estate agent of an absentee landlord, the Earl Erne, in County Mayo, Ireland, who was subject to social ostracism organized by the Irish Land League in 1880? (shameless Wikipedia gank)
Oh, and guys, good luck with that idea.

Lol, that's great. I love the way they even took the extra effort to put "China" into a somewhat exotic font. And the word "Boycott" is so bold and scary!
You just can't buy quality like that anymore.
