Stick a controversial entry way at the top of the contest so everybody tries to vote said controversial entry down. Marketing / Advertising / Promotion 101 . With that said, i'm spending my 3 votes on Bush. hooh-hah-hah. >:) How do you drive up traffic to a crappy contest web site?

There have been a couple large school districts here in the US that turned down a rediculous number of Macs that were being given to them for free, simply because the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation offered them some scratch. But, "Windows only" they said.
