The Army Boot Awards!

Shadow looks on as a Battletoad friend of hers puts the boot to someone . . .

I give this award to anyone or anything that deserves to be punted into the nearest black hole. Mostly for general suckiness, unreliability, or they just pissed me off . . . and now, here's the chat that inspired the award!


AOL-- Wins the Army Boot Award for Suckiest Internet Service. They're always busy, their customer service sucks, and they think you should appreciate the crappy content they throw at you. Enough said, I think . . .

Fanfiction.net-- wins an Army Boot Award for it's owners being idiots. Sure, you banned NC-17 fics in an effort to shut up concerned parents and hypocritical Christians, but you KNOW they'll wind up getting disguised as R fics and uploaded anyway. Oh, and deleting one of my fics and NOT TELLING ME WHY even when I asked didn't help either . . .

Freeservers.com-- Wins the Army Boot Award for Slowest and Most Unreliable Upload Script . . . arrghh, I couldn't tell you how many times their damn script either wouldn't function or crashed my browser! This is the reason why this site is now on tripod.com!

Saban Entertainment-- wins the Army Boot Award for Most Hated Production Company. DiC isn't even a contender for this, not after Saban's canceling of Escaflowne! They're the people who brought us the Power Rangers, folks! Not to mention several poorly translated animes . . . does Samurai Pizza Cats ring any bells? Also, responsible for the cancellation of Xyber 9, which they stupidly replaced with *shudder* NASCAR Racers! Not only that, but they used NASCAR Racers to replace Escaflowne too . . . hoo boy, I bet Bandai was pissed . . .

The head writers for Digimon (english version)-- wins the Army Boot Award for Corniest/Worst Jokes of All Time . . . come on, a little humor is all right, but you guys need to distinguish your show from Pokemon somehow!

Eric Luke-- Although he's one of the creators of Xyber 9, he wins an Army Boot award for just generally being an ass. A reply to that e-mail woulda been nice, Mr. Luke . . .
