"Who is the person of the year? Should we give it to that overrated douchebag Bono again?"
"Nah, that guy sucks. How about we throw everyone a loop, and give it to that Kim Bitch Li Jong Dong guy?"
"F**k this. Let's just give it to everyone."
"Hell yea. Throw me over another Pabst, bitch."
You're close. CNN broadcast TIME'S Person of the Year yesterday in which they showed some of the editorial meetings. (Fifty people brainstorming around a huge table, stacked three deep around the edges)
Says one guy "Well, if you are going to make it about them (meaning US) why not throw it out to them and let them vote on line?" (Huge groans and mumbles about fundamentalists push-polling for someone) Big boy editor says "No, that's why we have editors." Yeah.
So people on line are affecting the world more than any other group? It sure feels that way, so maybe they were right.
