So far Ahmadinejad is leading by a pretty wide margin, followed by "The YouTube Guys".

I think one of the options should be the stingray that killed Steve Irwin.
-
Bono was person of the year? F*cking hell the worlds doomed.

Wonder Stingray FTW!
seriously though, who is Ahmadinejad?
-

Time's "Person of the year" deal is rather contrived, remember, Hitler once emblazoned the cover of time as "person of the year"..
and yes, i know times have changed. :p
-
Why is Stephen Colbert not on this list?
-
Indeed, he should be on there for the Correspondants Dinner alone.
-
You could understand Hitler getting it, he did have a major effect for the wrong reasons, but wtfs bono done? f*ckin tax dodger has the check to tell us the government needs to spend more on aid. Tosser should give some of his own millions to the poor if hes so worried about them, instead of telling everyone else to do it.
Ahmadinejad's the Iranian president.
-
Although Bill and Melinda Gates did actually deserve it, seeing as how they donated something upwards of $30 billion to charity, maybe more. But Bono's just a sel-righteous prick, I think we can all agree on that.
-
To be fair, in 1938, Hitler damn well deserved to be Time's Man Of The Year.
He'd dragged Germany kicking and screaming out of an economic black hole and managed to not only restore stability but amass the single most advanced and powerful army the world had ever seen.
If he'd only worked the Jews half to death, he'd probably still be considered one of the greatest men of the modern era. But mass genocide tends to make people shy away from pointing out your good points.

Bwuahaha. Love the closing sentence of the 1938 Man Of The Year article:
To those who watched the closing events of the year it seemed more than probable that the Man of 1938 may make 1939 a year to be remembered.
-
I voted for RoboCop! :nervous:
-
Kim Jong Il will be disappointed with his showing. Expect another N.Korean publicity stunt soon. Probably a declaration of war.
-
War against who? The South? They are already at war... since years...
-
i voted for chavez, just to make sure that chavez is beating bush when they count the votes for this.
maybe, just maybe, bush'll read it and get annoyed.
-

At war with time itself.
-
When it comes to 'impact on the World' this year, I'm surprised that Kim Jong isn't higher in the rating to be honest.
-
Condy Rice! >..>;;
-
hopefully, he doesnt decide to do something with those nukes he has that will REALLY have an impact on the world, specifically on radioactive fallout.
-
Because it would be Time magazine's fault if he did.

Nah, he's all bark and no bite. Aside from making the South real good and ducking under their tables and giving the US a nice excuse to talk ****, Kim's not that important. He's just an attention whore.
I voted for Chavez because of his A1 SUPAR UN speech.
edit: Hehe, it's now Ahmadinejad>Chavez and YouTube tied > Bush. And poor ronery Kim is in last place.
-
If Ahmadinejad win it, as he likely will, it'll make him the 3rd Iranian leader to make the cut, after Mossadegh in '51 and Khomeini in '79. Stupid Iranians, hogging all the glory.
-
Having just watched Chavez's whole speech...holy crap. When was the last time anyone actually had the guts to criticize the UN veto like that? And FOX's reaction was hilarious. I wish I had voted him instead of Ahmadinejad.
-
Youtube guys.
-
Definitely Condoleezza Rice. She actually did something for America.
-
this is about the world, spartan...lets put aside our nationalistic tendencies here
-
Yes. We can't be concerned with petty national issues when under threat from the Jews and Communists.
Err. I mean Arabs and Terrorists....
-

Umm - this is an honest outsider question - what exactly did she do?
-
See, aldo, this is the problem with you foreigners. You've already made up your mind that you don't like her, and now you're going to distort the whole issue by asking for peripheral details like "what exactly did she do?" She did something for America, okay? Not that hard to understand.
-
um, i'm an american and i still dont know what ms rice did for us.
-
Did she make a nice sausage fritata?
-
Umm - this is an honest outsider question - what exactly did she do?
Screwed everything up. Like a sort of negative version of why Hitler got it; he caused trouble on a vast scale, so did Condie. Why should Hitler get it for making trouble through positive successful action and not Condie through negative failed action? It's still making trouble. :p
-
Did she make a nice sausage fritata?
No, but you should see her toasted bacon sandwich...
-
Whos the other bint?
-
Condolezza Rice is the Secretary of State. She makes the president's decisions looks good. Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condolezza_Rice) you can look at her lengthy Wikipedia Article.

Well, she seems to be doing a **** job at the mo.

No amount of spin can save the situation in Iraq. You can't blame the daft cow for not being able to convince people that eating **** is a good idea.
Lets face it. The fact that Bush hasn't been pulled out of the White House and strung up from a lamppost must mean that someone is making his decisions look better than they actually were.
