Time’s “Person of the Year” – The Protestor

Time’s “Person of the Year” – The Protestor. Trying hard to catch up to Newsweak (sic) in the dash to the trash.

  • The truly amazing part,if you read the article, is that one of the runners-up is Paul Ryan. Follow that link, it doesn't seem like the writer works for Time at all.

  • HA! Yeah, Time isn't BIASED or anything... right? *snicker* I gave up on those idiots years ago, along with Newsweak.

  • Finally a magazine I won't mind my dogs chewing up. Although I'm pretty sure even my Beagle puppy would have more sense to stay away except to do his buisiness on.

  • Since when did being arrogant, obnoxious, and stupid, become prerequisites for being honored as person of the year?
    On the bright side, Olivia now has something to look forward to next year.

  • I saw this story on Drudge (I think). The accompanying photo was of the guy taking a crap by the police car with the headline, "Protestor is Newsweek Person of the Year". Of course implying that the guy taking a crap was the person of the year. Very funny and very believable.

    • Opps sorry. I meant Time's Person of the year. I can't keep either of these POS separate. They're one in the same anyway.

  • NewsWeak is still around? I thought they folded a long time ago....I can not for the life of me find anyone who reads that rag, even doctors and dentists I go to don't have it or time in the lobby...They got to be sucking wind subscriber wise....and picking a smelly, unemployed, whiner, who thinks everyone should pay for his shit just makes time look that much more stupid.

    Surprised the 1 percent would bow to the 99 whine percent unless they want this OWS idiots to by the rag....

  • Fine... I protest their choice by refusing to purchase their propaganda rag. Ironically, I guess that makes me their Person of the Year. What an honor!
