To be fair, Einstein was a solid choice for person of the century.

I agree with the above. Person of the century should have gone to Hitler or Princip, depending on how you look at it.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

It looks like Mohammed bin Salman's going to get it.

Source: http://time.com/5027387/time-person-year-2017-poll-results/

To be fair, he's a bastard, but not as controversial a bastard as they could have picked.

There hasn't been a person of the year who wasn't a bastard since 2014. In 2015 they picked Merkel (a bastard) and in 2016 they picked Orange Man (another bastard). In 2014 they picked the Ebola fighters (Good people - definitely not bastards).

Merkel, although a bastard, is not at all controversial. Orange Man is controversial but it made sense as the dotard was elected president in 2016. Salman (definitely a bastard) is a lot more controversial, but nowhere near as controversial as Rocket Man (a good person - definitely not a bastard - I use the nickname "Rocket Man" affectionately here) or Harvey Weinstein (a massive bastard) would have been.

It is safe to say that Time magazine is run by a bunch of wusses. They probably would never have put Rocket Man on the poll if there was even a flicker of doubt in their mind that he wouldn't get it. Of course, nobody voted for him, because at least 75% of those who voted for the poll are an assorted variety of ninnies and loonies.

Rocket Man - You will always be Person of 2017 in my eyes for your wonderful impact in this year, you have not only defended Korea, you have defended the world from nuclear annihilation! I love you (in the Platonic sense).

I also don't see why Jeremy Corbyn (good person - definitely not a bastard) wasn't an option to be voted for. He made the Maybot lose her majority after all! He is surely more Person-of-the-Year-worthy than many of the choices that were on there.

It's would be better if you could write in your own choices.

I don't even see why Rocket Man is an option seeing as even if he did get the most votes, the boltheads at Time magazine wouldn't let him be Person of the Year. After all, he was voted it in 2012, but they gave it to Barack "No Drama" Obama (A good person - definitely not a bastard).

I have nothing against No-Drama, but he already received Person of the Year in 2008. Why can't Rocket Man have a turn? Sad!

I also think I am a worthy contester for Person of the Year. After all, I got Person of the Year in 2006, for being a content creator on the internet, and if No-Drama can go twice, surely I should be able to as well. The way I see it, the best content I have produced was not in 2006 but when I was posting on this forum this year. The writers of Time magazine should recognize my hard work and make me Person of the Year again. Or am I too controversial a choice?

To clarify, the above paragraph is jokes, I don't actually believe I was person of the year in 2006.

The British Television Programme "The Last Leg" is hosting an award similar to "Person of the Year". Instead it is called, "Dick of the Year". The aim is to find a bad person to represent this year.

Possible winners of it this year include Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Aung San Suu Kyi, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un (who I do not think belongs alongside those bastards as he is a good person).

So 2017's Person of the Year is "The Silence Breakers". Those who spoke out against sexual abuse and harassment.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Alcohol may have been a factor.

Taxation is theft.

I don't understand the joke. I'm not even Korean. Or is this because I support the DPRK?
