Of course, all of these awards are prestigious. The guys who gave them to me told me so themselves.
In chronological order...
The complaint-letter generator
was rated among the top 5% of all sites on the Internet by Point Communications. (Look

Help! Help! This
site's going down!

Pistol" tells me not to be offended; it's an honor to be awarded
"Crappy Site of the Day."

Bizarre" site for Feburary 15, 1996.
What? You didn't recognize my site? Well, it's a good thing there's
a site out there that goes around recognizing sites for you.
Given that the complaint-letter
generator doesn't take a unique approach at WWW layout and design,
it must have received a KNOB Award for being really bizarre,
unexpected or silly. Do you think?
The
complaint-letter generator is featured on the Tangled Web's "Hot
Links" page as a site worthy of notice for its humorous nature. So
in case you didn't notice that it was humorous (and, believe me,
some people don't)...
They came, they saw, they
reviewed.
Is the complaint-letter generator
the bee's knees? The cat's pajamas? No, but it's the Puppy's
Pick.
Is
the complaint-letter generator really among the first to win this
award? How odd.
A golden cow
with her chin up recently awarded the complaint-letter generator
the "Golden Cow with Her Chin Up" award. What did you expect? A
Nobel Prize?
And the
seventh weirdest, most annoying, or hardest to find page for the
month of June, 1996 is...the complaint-letter generator!
Whoopee!
Of the 99.3
gazillion Web pages at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign (yes, there are exactly that many), the
complaint-letter generator is the absolute best. Not bad, eh?
Mr. Durrant
and his friends traipsed through the complaint-letter generator
page. I hope they wiped their feet first.
Look! The complaint-letter generator received one those little "I
was reviewed by Net Surf" icons that everyone seems to like so
much. Since that's HotWired's way of saying "You rule!", I guess I
must.
Since
creating the complaint-letter generator, I keep finding myself
surrounded by sexy women, like the one in this 24/7/Surf graphic.
But then I usually wake up.
The
complaint-letter generator bears the 2E seal of approval, so it
must be good. If not, you can take it up with Twoey.
If you think the
complaint-letter generator is cruel now, just wait until I add the
"yank legs off spiders" and "tie cans to puppies' tails"
features....
I'm glad that the complaint-letter
generator is on the "This Rocks" side of the "Things that
ROCK!/Things that SUCK!" page. It would be hard to brandish a "We
suck" logo with as much pride.
Move over,
Colossus of Rhodes. So long, Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The
complaint-letter generator is one of the 200+ Wonders of the Web.
You can't say that about the Great Pyramid of Giza, can
you?
Yes, even earwigs
occasionally need to complain. (You know -- "Those darn humans keep
squishing my buddies," and bug stuff like that.) However, in this
case, the Earwig in question is the top online music source for
modern/alternative rock news, interviews, games, polls, record
reviews and more. Darned if I knew why that would need to
complain.
Monitor Magazine named the complaint-letter generator their Site of
the Day (23 April 1997). At least, I think that's what the
page says. It's in Hebrew, and I know only enough Hebrew to
translate the title as "[some word I don't know] of the day." So
let's all pretend it's "Site of the Day;" it'll make me feel
good.
The complaint-letter generator is not only one of this week's top
five humor sites, but it was one of the top five humor sites the
first week the Top Five list existed. Think of all the
bonus points that's worth!
Wow!
Witness that the complaint-letter generator won the Weird Wild Web
award, which, while wonderful, will wear out whatever's left of my
"W" key. What a waste! Wouldn't we want the World Wide Web awards
we win to watch what keys they weaken? Well, I would, anyway.
You want to know what's funny on
the Internet? I'll tell you what's funny on the Internet. The
automatic complaint-letter generator, that's what!
According to
SP (no relation to me, even though everyone in my family bears the
initials "SP"), this award, unlike many others on the web, is not
that easy to win. I had to...ummm...check my e-mail to to win it.

one of the best humor-related whatsits on the Web today.

of the Week for my work on the automatic complaint-letter
generator. I can't tell you how honored I feel.

for it in the 30
April 1998 issue.
The Password felt the
automatic complaint-letter generator is so good, they linked to it
from their
Internet Time Wasters magazine (look under "Love or hate
letters"). Of course, no one would waste too much time
playing with the complaint-letter generator, would they?
Humor at the Mining
Co. has declared the automatic complaint-letter generator one
of the best new links of the week and has enshrined a link to it in
its Email Laughs and
Greeting Cards - Humor - Net Links section for time immemorial.

didn't give me a cool icon to put on this page, but since I was
able to steal some graphic I found on their site, we'll let this
one go, okay?

Wrath" award. Hot diggity dog!

hang your head in shame.

"exxxxxcellent" site and a "Tanzio Favorite Pick". Of course, I'm

graphic available on her page.
Because the
automatic complaint-letter generator is clearly one of the most
"weird, bizarre, strange, odd and unusual web sites on the

absolutely nothing unusual about those complaint letters...

reviewed and reported on the automatic complaint-letter generator.

a reminder. This implies either that they really like my program or
that their subscribers lack any sort of long-term memory.
Linky
& Dinky love me! At least, they love the automatic
complaint-letter generator. At least, either Linky or

assume that either Linky or Dinky must love the automatic
complaint-letter generator, as they e-mailed its URL to their
subscribers...or so they claim.

of judges enough to be granted their Award for Obfuscation.
While Lep's Kawaii Award is
most definitely not the most prized of Web-site awards, the
automatic complaint-letter generator is at least cool enough to
receive the little badge-type picture you see here.

somewhere....Oh, there it is; it's right Here on the Web.
The automatic complaint-letter
generator is one hot link. Don't burn yourself!

also the author of How
to Keep an Idiot Busy For Hours.

Monty likes the automatic complaint-letter generator. I wonder how
many words he actually understands, though....

of the Day on 27 August 2004.

"informative"?) In addition, by putting Irieman & friends'
medallion on my site, I am indicating to the world my overall
coolness. I'm so cool!

complaint-letter generator his Website of the Week for
the week of 17 April 2006 (WHTT 104.1 FM, Buffalo, New York). Some of

are practical and useful while others are better suited for pure
enjoyment.
Clearly, the automatic complaint-letter generator
matches both criteria.
