TIME Person Of The Year is..."YOU???" - Oh...my....
Changes in 2006 were far bigger than technological changes from individuals. This is pathetic.

I think if I bought time hoping for a deep article on someone who's created profound change, I'd be utterly disappointed to see that the cover says "You."

A friend already described it as a "cop out." I couldn't have said it better myself.

I think if I had the subscription, I wouldn't even read the article simply because it's so empty of intrigue

3. Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without all of you.
I just don't know what more to say, other than to thank my dogs, my computer, and my banker who kept me realistic.

4. As far as TIME goes, there is no war anywhere, and no one is dying
Heck, even YOUTUBE had more of an impact than a piece of mylar tape.

anyone who looks in that mirror is the "person" of the year...aka...the "winner" of the year because life just got a little bit better for EVERYONE.

6. Says they wanted to pick Ahmadinejad,
but decided they didn't want to put up with the "LIBRUL TRAITOR" crap.

7. Welcome to the ultimate Paul Verhoeven parody of lobotomization!
I use the phrase "I'll buy THAT for a dollar!" a lot (from the movie Robocop, it's a catch phrase uttered by a repulsive creep show host of a reality-type show), in reference to what I call systemic self-lobotomization of the masses by way of pop culture.

So, now TIME has decided to just give up entirely, and justify its lack of brains with the umpteenth appeal to some Age of Ego.

Pity they're a few hundred years late.

Lazy, brain-dead bastards.

TIME having an interesting feature article: I'll buy that for a dollar.
