Time magazine just eliminated all prestige associated with their Person of the Year issue by naming everyone currently alive as this year’s winner. Let the celebration begin.
What does it feel like to be named Time magazine’s Person of the Year? Personally, I’m pretty stoked. In fact, I’ve just added it to the bottom of my resume. That’s right, please refer to me as Sean Kelly, Time magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year. I’m probably not going to be using that thing for another five years, so it doesn’t really matter.
The only problem is that this maverick issue is going to take a lot of allure out of the award. I mean sure, everyone born after 2006 won’t have the title like we do. So when we all die, there will be a fresh batch of losers to pick from. But until then, who will Time pick to up the ante next year? Time magazine’s 2007 Person of the Year—God?
On a side note, my favorite Wikipedia article of the day is Unsuccessful attempts to amend the U.S. Constitution. What? There’s a chance the ERA could still be ratified? Get to it, Pelosi!
