Time Magazine "Person of the Year" public poll... Miley Cyrus?

Now I personally think that Miley on top deserves some analysis BUT... theres something a LOT more interesting here. Notice that the Tsarnaev brothers have more people thinking they should be persons of the year than Netanyahu? And that they are on the same level as Obama? Wow... and the funny part is, people like the tsarnaev brothers more than they like Lebron... but still hate netanyahu the most...

Now this deserves some thought... I mean wow! And the Pope... well, the guy tries hard, but unless he learns how to twerk, or gets some naked nuns sitting on a wrecking ball, hes not reaching "person of the year" by people's standards. And another interesting fact... Btw... since Wendy Davis got there because of the abortion thing, have you noticed theres not a single political figure from the west till the 15th place (and thats bloody Merkel WTF) and the next is Obama (20... yea I didnt count rand paul either no active voice in the world like Wendy)...? Well theres Snowden hehe... you see where I'm coming from right? heres the link to the poll Time PotY Poll

This quite an exquisite and fascinating poll...

Where's my name on that list? Hmmmm.....better make a sex video with Alf.

Good thread...you gave us the numbers, as well as an opinion and comparisons - and valid ones at that.


The joke of the whole thing though, is how bipolar the results are...not too mention the original selections.


The current paradigms in this country tell us a lot - and it ain't good.

That poll is painful to look at. I mean JOHN BOEHNER, really...? Really?!? How did someone like that even make any mention at all?

I wonder if a few folk with influence but no popularity had some of their assistants voting for them.

My vote: Edward Snowden, no contest.

So Miley is neck and neck in significant recent accomplishments in the public eye with the strong man of Egypt, followed closely by the President of Turkey and the frontrunner for the next President of India.

And people thought she was just a voice and a tongue floating in wetware.

I could imagine her next video after she sees this poll.

Snowden as person of the year---without reservation.

The list is just a current reflection of the American psyche.

Not too pretty, is it?

People heard more about Miley Cyrus than anyone else.

Not surprised.

No Malalala? You'd think she'd be head and shoulders above the rest
if included in the nominations! (Or is that fabricated story just a European/Middle
Eastern thing?)

Man... theres prince george IN THE MIDDLE of the poll!!!!

The guys what? 2 months? lol...

The poll reflects the state of this world actually... its pretty accurate.

Yea we put Cyrus up there to show that we dont really care about the poll, then a couple of women got over sensitive and threw wendy there, then we put all the "rise against" there to show that we hate the current "west and its policies" and threw in all those guys up to snowden, and then we put terrorists at the same level as Obama... but just so he knows we dont like him but we dont WANT him dead or anything, we made sure to put netanyahu WAY below him - thats how we show Time Magazine the people we really want dead.

And we put a baby in the middle... we dont love him... we dont hate him. Hes useless for now, neutral... so hes in the middle. But notice... still more useful than Obama and a Windsor. And way more than Netanyahu.

All fun and games mate...

Makes one wonder what POY really means to this mag.

They've been hacked. That's the only reason I can see that waste of flesh being nominated. I predict a OD in her future and it won't affect me one iota. Just another idiot will take her place.

Then again, Hitler was in the running as well back in 1937 I think. Time is useless as a magazine.

The only magazine I deem worthy of having holds 30 rounds.

Ohhhh.....well. awkward.........how about that one sports team huh? Crazy.....

Snowden-Greenwald for the win, with Elizabeth Warren as the lady-vote.

If this poll is the real deal, TIME just made itself utterly irrelevant. I predict they go the way of the dodo before the end of the year.

reply to post by FraternitasSaturni


should this be considered an honor? I mean the "Person of the Year 'Award'"?

Miley gets lots of attention. Perhaps even makes people consider what they are comfortable with. But having grown up with the likes of Gene Simmons (spitting blood), to 2 Live Crew and Too Short, all the way through Marilyn Manson....it goes on and on. I know there are many more that can be mentioned...but the point is that music makes money via shock. Media makes money via shock. If licking a hammer is shocking nowadays, I am underwhelmed.

I should add, my vote would be Pope Francis. I have always disliked Catholicism. If he represents what Catholicism will become....i will have to adjust my views on that.

In any event, he is risking his life to bring about some change. And may be THE major player in the global political arena over the next 5 years.

So miley ranks up there along side people like hitler? Who was also time magazines man of the year.
Yes well it takes all sorts of people to reach that high standard. Seig heil miley

I was winner of Time Magazine Person of the Year in 2006.
