Yeah, so apparently I am Time's Man of the Year

[BrokenVisage]

Congrats to all of us!

The question is.. does this go on my resume?

 

[BillyBatson]

i don't think so. i can see myself as being man of the year but not you buddy sorry.

 

[aircooled]

I think it's pretty corny.

 

[TallBill]

Well thats incredibly stupid. However, this is the second time that I've won the award.

 

[techs]

I'm guessing 1999. TallBill is quite obviously Jeff Bezos.

Actually, I'm guessing he won it the same year I did

It's pretty sad when they can't find someone actualy WORTHY of being awarded that honor...but then again, this is Time...they often choose someonw not worthy anyway...

 

[DainBramaged]

What a fvcking cop-out.

you mean read this...

Lonelygirl15 is one of the most viewed YouTube users of all time. She's young and pretty, with a complicated and absolutely compelling personal life. She's also a work of fiction?lonelygirl15 was created by two professional screenwriters and an actress from New Zealand, of all places. Well?to paraphrase Woody Allen?you can't have everything.

It's actually Person of the Year...

 

[Ika]

This is sad.

 

[Parasitic]

Jay D Keasling won Scientist of the Year.
Kinda cool since he is in our department and I see him sometimes.

 

[dethman]

i'm puttin' it on my CV.

 

[Yossarian]

should have been O.J.

 

[shuttleboi]

Time doesn't have the balls to select a truly standout non-American. I found this article most telling:


You beat out candidates including Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, China's President Hu Jintao, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and James Baker, the former U.S. Secretary of State who led Washington's bipartisan Iraq Study Group.

 

[Mrvile]

Should have been Tom Cruise.
