Time's man of the year joining the ranks of Hitler and Bush

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

is a nerd who won't leave his parent's basement and spends 23 hours a day fapping.

This year the cover is a mirror talking about us forming an extensive functional internet economy.

Of course keep in mind man of the year is for INFLUENTIALness not just good it's for good or bad. (Hence Hitler in 38 which the cover protrayed him as a murdering racist, and Bush in 2000 and 2004 which had point counterpoint cause half of America loved and half hated him)

What is no one else more influential? Kim Jong Ill? Aboud Abidimijab? (uh the iranian dude) Seth Mcfarlane? Bob Barker? How about Condoleeza or Rummy who recently stepped down? As I recall the internet boom was YEARS ago this is just another year of it slowly growing and becoming more common.

My vote? Shigeru Miyamoto for the Nintendo Wiimote.

Aboud Abidimijab? (uh the iranian dude)

Uh, excuse me? I believe the correct name for the president of Iran is Abu Adiminidechad.

Of course, that's just USA Today's spelling. CNN calls him "Aboo Madineshdamazhad."

CtCD, how can any of those things be shown to be influential when they are too recent to have influenced anything?

Yes, the internet has been around for a while now, but it's only now that it's clearly a tool that's going to be continued to be used rather than some technological fad that'll soon be passed over.

[Pub Lover]

I didn't actually mean proof, so cut "shown to be" out of what I said. :(
