Punch the monkey and win $20

created by Sylvar

A Java-based banner ad that surely ranks as one of the most annoying things on God's green earth.

Naturally, you don't actually win $20. You get invited to click on more banner ads in the hope of actually winning money, and if you happen to click in the right place and win $25,000, then you'll get your extra $20 for punching the monkey.

I think the entire TreeLoot thing is some sadistic experiment run by a demented professor of abnormal psychology.

Imagine if Scientology got hold of this idea. "Punch John Travolta's goofy-ass face and get a free personality test!"

TreeLoot Maybe I'm naive but this type of website bugs me Words that sound dirty but really aren't Don't kill your invisible husband to see what he looks like or you'll sob your heart out. But don't worry about the millions of invisible men coming to attack your village because they won't kill you if you don't know how to fight them.
