Here's a great example of voluntary response bias.
Voluntary response bias is when you let people answer a survey or poll, and the results thusly become skewed because only people who really care about it will answer.
I asked Yahoo Answers if people believe if there were monsters under their bed.
All of the 3 people responded in the affirmative. Using this survey, I could (unreasonably) conclude that 100% of people on Yahoo Answers believe there is a monster under their bed.
