I believe that Wayne is using an anonymizer to pass the "votes" through. If I understand correctly, Wayne has a bit of code in his website that causes each page loading to "vote" on a web page, but so all of the hits won't come from Pelican, he's passing it through a public anonymizer service on the web.

If you were playing pool, and you are the cue ball. You want to sink the 8 ball in the corner pocket, but you don't want the cue ball to hit the 8 ball, so you shoot the cue ball at the 2, the 2 then bounces off of the bank and into the 8 which goes in the pocket. Pelican parts is the 2 ball, the bank is the "anonymouse.org" site, and the cue ball is the vote for the lovely lassie.

If you ran a business, and in that business you had a proxy so people couldn't surf porn, they could potentially use that anonymouse.org site or other sites like it to surf porn all day. .... or so I've heard.
