EDITED: Change link to proper article instead of a stupid video, and changed associated text to match new URL.

Disgusting, in my opinion.

    Hitler was also person of the year in like 1938. Means nothing other than impact on society

      Great, so we’re living in the modern equivalent of 1938. Hopefully next year doesn’t go on to be the equivalent of 1939 😬

    Being Times person of the year means you have had a significant impact, not that you are necessarily a good person. It says nothing about doing good deeds.

        What most people don’t know about Voldemort? Pretty good at karaoke. Not great, but surprisingly better than you thought.

      The whole NYSE thing though is blatantly sucking up to Trump. And since Times already gave it to him once, maybe don’t feed his overinflated ego even more? Because there is no way he is going to take it as a negative, as his desperate desire to be on the cover has shown.

    I place no credibility in time’s person of the year. Hitler was times person of the year once.

    Hell, I was time magazine’s person of the year in 2006! I worked at Wendys that year…I didn’t do nothin!

      And Hitler kinda had an impact on the world. You trying to deny that?

      Time’s Person of the Year is about impact on society. It’s not the Nobel Peace Prize.
