    Not only that, but everybody who votes is a

    for....

            $1000! A thousand dollars. YAY!

    But you must call within the next 3 minutes to get your prize... And it's
    not in cash, its coupons. And you can't redeam your coupons without buying
    a vacation package....

    Also, you can't close the advertisement window, because it uses JavaScript
    to open another ad as soon as you close that one.

    I almost feel like warning everyone to stay away from this vote because its
    a trap, but I doubt the original site knows or cares what its advertisers
    are doing to its visitors.
