And we didn't just watch, we also worked. Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software.
America loves its solitary geniuses—its Einsteins, its Edisons, its Jobses—but those lonely dreamers may have to learn to play with others. Car companies are running open design contests. Reuters is carrying blog postings alongside its regular news feed. Microsoft is working overtime to fend off user-created Linux. We're looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation, and it's just getting started, as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.
Time's person of the year is.....you! Congrats!

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I'm not going to watch Lost tonight. I'm going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? [...]
The answer is, you do.
Oh. Not me, then. :(
Finally. My sheer excellence and awesomeness has paid off.
Well...time to keep doing what I do best. Camera whoring on myspace and airbrushing the shit out of it while pretending to be a hot teenage girl!

As Man of the Year 2006, I can honestly say that Time Magazine is a load populist trash and everyone involved with it needs to be shot for being hacks terrified to offend anyone for selecting someone as Person of the Year who actually fits the criteria of "the individual or group of individuals who have had the biggest effect on the year's news".
Really, how did Osama not win for 2001? And don't get me started on that trend of worthless "group awards" that started in the late 60's (25-and-Unders? The American Woman? Give me a fucking break!)

Actually, one can't refer to themselves as a "you" whilst retaining grammatical accuracy, therefore no one gets to be Time's Person of the Year.

As I pointed out earlier, this crap wasn't new to the 90's, back in the 60's anyone under 25 was considered worthy of the award.

Stuuuuppppiiiddddddd.
Should have been whichever democratic individual was most responsible for the smashing victory in this year's elections.
Putting bush on there might be accurate in terms of 'the most responsible person,' but that goes against the spirit of the 'award.'
Not that calling "you" or "the american soldier" 'person of the year' is all that much of an award.

It is not supposed to be an award, it is supposed to be an acknowledgment of the one person (ie, Hitler) or group of persons (ie, Al Qaeda) who most influenced the world in that year.

Well, shit. I figured the human race most influenced the world every year...what's with the special recognition now? They're about a million years too late for this one.

Your marrage.
Well, the army's a good way to go. It'll be a difficult life changing experience, even in peace time, but I'm sure you can do it. Just don't leave it in debt like my uncle did. He died a few weeks ago, course you already knew that, and he still wasn't out of debt.

If you have to leave, then allow me the honor of destroying you. Its the least one friend could do for another, and then you won't have any nagging thoughts of what you could be doing on NS, because you won't have a nation any more.

no need the war with helghan goes on, ends in chaos of both empires getting destoryed and wolf bring the soul Isan alive with no home, no family as he can't see them in the after life and just keeps in contact with his mum,dad and sister

While he's at it, Nazz should also nominate himself for the Nobel peace prize. iirc, unlike all the other prizes therein, anyone can be nominated for the peacy.
