Need your help! My family is one of five finalists (out of nearly 100 entrants) in a Carnival Cruise Lines kids contest to build our own boat out of household items! We need your votes big time at this link.

http://www.carnivalmagic.com/contest/FinalistGallery.aspx

Ours is the giant ship with the kids and Pirate Dog in it (Carrie – Naperville, IL).
The good news for everyone is that every vote will generate a $1 donation from Carnival to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. So voting can make you feel good at the same time as helping us out. Please, please vote for us and feel free to post a link anywhere you think people will see it and want to 1) vote for us and 2) have Carnival donate $1 to St. Jude. You have to put in an email address and make up a password but that's all. This isn't a 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 chance, it's 1 in 5. We can actually win this with your help! We had a great time on this family project and with your help we can turn this cardboard boat into real money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and a real cruise for our family!
Thank you!
 
Asking for votes on an on-line Forum is fine.

... but blindly sending an e-mail to me and your 500 closest friends
and claiming it's not spam, isn't so cool...

I can appreciate you wanting to win the contest,
but now my business e-mail is on 500 other people's distribution list.

Probably no real harm done,
but I expect I'll probably get few more penis enlargement offers now...

My sincerest apologies. Certainly didn't intend to cause problems for you or anyone else. Also didn't realize just how vast my stupid email address book was. I greatly appreciate any and all votes and rest assured, this is the last anyone will see of my spam. Thanks for understanding folks. Back to your regularly scheduled arcade hobby!
 
Is it frowned upon to vote from multiple email addresses? I could vote from both my work and home email addresses, but I wouldn't want you to be disqualified or anything for stuffing the ballot box ;)

Oh and free bump! Let's get the vote out people, he's only down by 12 votes right now!

Classic, Redwolf! I'm keeping that pic for future use. There is nothing in the rules about not posting from multiple email addresses. So feel free to dig deep for those old addresses, and work addresses, and new addresses. We're in the lead right now and every vote ahead that we get is one more second I can sleep at night. Pirate Dog thanks you!

Just a tip... Put your e-mail in the "to" and then your 500 contacts in the "bcc"... This hides all their addresses from each other. Works great.
 
You're starting to pull away.A 50+ vote lead with 6 days left. Unless the other competitors also get help from all friends,family,etc and stuff the ballot box then I believe you will be going on a cruise.
