So basically everyone is the time person of the year

So basically everyone is the time person of the year

Except you.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

At least some poor loser will be able to say he has achieved something in his life now.

I never liked Time Magazine, it may have been important a long time ago but now it just seems to be a celeb magazine that sometimes has articles on real issues. And loud mouth opinion acrticles don't help. Thankyou fox news...as a matter of fact I hate just about every magazine for those very reasons.

 

[Matt]

Wow, this is even more of a gimmick than the American Soldier one from a couple years back. Do a real person next time, thanks.

I saw this news on The View this morning at an oral surgeon's office lol. So dumb, and it's obviously because they can't even find someone worthy enough to be called "Person of the Year" :

I forgot about that one! and you are right this is much more of a gimmick and even worse, pandering.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I thought Time magazine went out of business.

 

[C.F. Kane]

Am I the only one here that thinks this descision is interesting? The writers have a point: Internet communities have been reshaping the world in a lot of ways. How else do you explain the defeat of George Allen? It was because of Youtube that the "macaca" clip became so widespread and so damaging.

I could list other examples, if I were so pressed.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

Yay! I am going to call my mom right now! Damn all you in high school who said I wasn't living up to my potential! IN YOUR FACE!

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Am I the only one here that thinks this descision is interesting?

No, I agree, I was going to post a long list of reasons but decided against it.
I urge you to do the same.

 

[Angry Sentinel]

Dew's post really made me laugh for some reason.

 

[C.F. Kane]

Reasons this descision is a good choice:

The Internet community

- helped to defeat George Allen by circulate the "macaca" video
- launched a potential Sam Jackson flop into the cult stratosphere
- created the pop culture echo chamber that destroyed Mark Foley, Mel Gibson, and others whose exploits, while still newsworthy, would not have had the same impact.
- redefined creativity with sites like Youtube and iFilm
- changed the political landscape by giving political weight to the blogosphere

Hell, what we're doing right now is unprecedented in human history. With the internet, we're creating the world's largest, fairest, and most accessible forum for creation, innovation, and cross-cultural discussion. It's democracy in it's purest form.

Let's not forget that releasing stuff on the internet forces advertisers to become more aggressive to sell their product. Since the way we (the consumers) are sold products is changing, the entire face of marketing and promotion is changing.

My dream was to become
Time Magazine Peson of the year
Now what do I do?

 

[Ben Urich]

It's an interesting move, to say the least.
I wonder if anyone's gonna buy it and get it framed?

EDIT: That was rude, nevermind.

 

[El ASESINO]

Cool

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Time Magazines Person Of The Year. I'll take it, I guess.

 

[Tyrinus]

What a cop out.
And can we use this on our resumes?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

They are going to send everyone a copy of the magazine. The front of the cover will say "Your Face Here".
