So, TIME just named me Person of the Year. So how'd your year go?

[QUOTE=RickJay]
Incidentally, it was “The Generation 25 and Under,” in 1966.

Well, I’m over 50 now, and careening towards senility … :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow! As a middle-class American woman who was under 25 in 1966, that makes this my fourth win! What do I get??? (Hmmmm. I didn’t get anything the other three times. I think I see a trend.)

Why not You? You, as a whole, have been able to control entertainment now more than ever. The main reason You was (were) chosen was because of Time 2006 Invention of the Year- YouTube, which shows that now more than ever, You are able to create your own entertainment and/or web content rather than some large corporation. This message board is perfect proof of this. So why not You?

Because the vast majority of “You” did none such things. The vast majority of “You” just sat there and watched it happen.

Me? Wow.

I wonder who I had to blow to get that honor…

So, is the cover of this week’s magazine going to be a mirror?

I’m so honoured! sniff, poses for the cameras

So who will be adding this award to their resume/CV ?

It’s already there.

I’m disappointed, I was hoping that it would be The Tron Guy.

If you get it one more time I think you get to go on SNL with Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin and Paul Simon.

I have already composed a strongly worded letter letting TIME know that this in no way makes up for the glaring omission of me as the Sexiest Man Alive.

I thought your breath smelled funny…

Yanno, this is actually the second time I’ve won. (Back in the late '60s, they gave it to “People under 30,” which I was at the time.)

I also got it that one year when I was Hitler.

When I heard it I thought they must’ve gotten to like December 10 and said “Crap!! It’s the end of the year!! Who do we pick!!?”

But then I got stuck on the question “Who should have gotten it instead?”

Frankly, I’m still pissed off that they didn’t even ask for my permission. I don’t need that kind of public scrutiny right now, y’know?
