    Sorry, I never even noticed. I thought everybody in the known universe
    had aleady caught on to using Popup-Stopper by now! Run don't walk to
    www.panicware.com and down load popup-stopper today!
     
    And for the next 60 seconds they might even throw in a free Ginsu knife!

    Not only that, but everybody who votes is a

    > WINNER! <
    > WINNER!! <
    > WINNER!!! <

    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.
