As for Paris — please find some joy in life. Spending your time posting lame and incorrect insults is really a sucky way to live. Blessed be!

35 ritabby 03.12.07 at 11:04 pm

Congratulations!

Now on to the Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously, if everyone got their daily dose of adorable peace might be possible.

36 Buzzygirl 03.12.07 at 11:12 pm

Is anyone surprised by this award? You got my vote, because this site is the one (and I repeat!) ONE website that I simply must check each and every day — almost always before the local and world news.

Cuteoverload.com makes me smile every day, and sometimes even many times each day. So, I conclude that the world NEEDS this blog. Stheriously. ;-)

37 KarKar 03.12.07 at 11:21 pm

Congrats Meg, that’s wonderful!

Although I have to confess, I love PostSecret. CO will make me go “awwww,” but PS will make me cry, take a deep breath, and force myself to have a better day.

38 gravyboat 03.12.07 at 11:24 pm

Way to go!!!

39 Evangeline's Staff in WI 03.12.07 at 11:31 pm

> As has been said before, “We KNEW it!” The perfect start to a day? Cuppa tea, dose of CO, then bring it on!

40 Lillith 03.12.07 at 11:31 pm

That’s wonderful Meg, and very deserved. You, Theo and all of the others who help do so much to make this a great place.

Though like KarKar I think PostSecret is a great site too, so I’m glad to see they were nominated.

53 Carlisa 03.12.07 at 11:59 pm

I noticed this back at the bunny/eyeliner post from Renee but I think it flew past us….

Congrats on your Best American Bloggie, CO!

58 Theo 03.13.07 at 12:14 am

Hi, Frank TPSG! Thanks! Is this like when the other candidate calls the winner up to congratulate him (or her!) at the end of a Presidential election?… at any rate, it’s classy of you. Thanks again.

59 Theo 03.13.07 at 12:14 am

LOL!
…and Hi, Carlisa.
(btw, *I* didn’t miss Renee’s comment.)

60 Ellie 03.13.07 at 12:17 am

Question: Seriously. how did anyone come up with the idear of cute overload.
Hrm…
HEY! Lets get ridiculusly cute pictures and make everyone drool at their computers!

Yeah, I bet thats it.

61 Aubrey 03.13.07 at 12:17 am

Congratulations, Meg. We who are about to die of The Cute salute you.

62 AmyH 03.13.07 at 12:24 am

YAY! I’m with a WEEEENER! I’m so used to being a supporter of the underdogs and the dark horses. This is a little strange to be associated with such greatness. Must.calm.nerves…

*snorgles puppeh, huffs slepping kitteh, savors puddin*

Ah, all better now.

63 TAJ 03.13.07 at 12:25 am

In honor of their success, CO will be giving all their readers a free puppy or kitten!

64 Theo 03.13.07 at 12:26 am

Ellie — that’s a question for Meg… but I *think* I know the actual answer. She was checking out various blog tools for a project at work, and set up a few just as experiments. Very mad scientist.

And, well, *this* experiment? …IT’S ALIIIIIIVE!!!

66 joodster 03.13.07 at 12:33 am

Surprised? No.
Proud? Oh yes!
Congratulations to Meg, Theo and the cast of thousands behind the scenes.

67 acelightning 03.13.07 at 12:35 am

Wheeee! We did it – “we” being all of us who went and voted for CO, of course. And YOU did it, Meg and Theo and your faithful assistants, offering the entire internet pictures of adorable cuddly, funny, silly, sometimes sad, but always CUTE animals!

Pudding for everyone!

68 CSO 03.13.07 at 12:59 am

Bravo Meglet + Theo! Makes me proud to be an American! Cue the Lee Greenwood!

69 Theo 03.13.07 at 1:02 am

CSO/Amoise — according to FatalFluffy/Kimchee, who recently moved to China, CuteOverload is allowed through the “Great Firewall” too. We’re an export!

70 RedheadmitPetz 03.13.07 at 1:24 am

What a Fantabulous recognition of the hard work and prime quality cuteness we can find everyday at CO!! I’m a hardcore addict who doesn’t want a 12 step program – this site has put a smile on my face during some pretty rough days. And what a great way to tell the world that Americans are really nice people who know how to bring some cuteness into a world that can be pretty grim sometimes. VIVA LA PAWSA!!!

71 Robbie 03.13.07 at 1:45 am

Woo hoo! The award couldn’t have gone to a better blog! Pop the champagne, and let’s toast Cute Overload!

72 Elle 03.13.07 at 1:52 am

This shouldn’t be that much of a suprize Meg :) Who doesn’t love some ahhdorable kittehs, puppehs and other assorted cuties with a dose of hilarious?

73 Yitzysmommie 03.13.07 at 2:08 am

YAY!!
Gratulations, Meg, Teho and any silent players. This is most excellent. The Qte rules.

Great news! I know I voted for you!

77 Valerie 03.13.07 at 3:24 am

Like I tell everyone….this IS the BEST site on the internet.

78 Vince 03.13.07 at 3:57 am

I second the thoughts on Nobel Peace Prize and ‘tocks up’, especially in both cases when Meg is involved.

Those are four really beeg competitors you beat out too!

NICE WORK MEG you deserve it tewtally!

79 TeeJ 03.13.07 at 4:37 am

Congrats and many more to come. Power to the Puppehs and all things cute!

89 Persephone 03.13.07 at 7:21 am

Cuteoverload is my very favorite blog, including my own blogs. Partly because it helped me get my job in online marketing.

Director of marketing: So what blogs do you read?

Me: well, not too many… I read some of the feminist ones, I think feministing.com does a really good job. I read some that have to do with dance… and I read cuteoverload.

Director of marketing: what’s that?

Me: They post pictures of people’s pets with funny captions.

Director of marketing: Oh yeah, I’ve seen that one! It’s great!

And I got the job and am loving it! :) Also, with the help of the prosh feline companions of our friend Russell, CO helped me convince my SO to get a kitten. So CO is officially one of my best friends on teh internet. Mazel tov!

90 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 03.13.07 at 7:31 am
