[Alpha Killer II]

Time Magazine (1943-01-04). Time had previously named Stalin Man of the Year for the year 1939.

Also, I got a picture to prove it



And u Guys said Stalin wasnt so great!

IIRC, Time Magazine debated naming Osama man of the year in 2001, no?

"Man of the year" is given to someone based on the impact they have had on the world that year - not on whether that impact is good or bad.

Hitler won the title as well. Being influential is not the same thing as being good. There is nothing great about a man who may have killed upwards of 50 million people, while oppressing the rest.

Even you won that award, AlphaKiller.

So did I!!!

Despite my threats to the President that I would *Qoute-on-Qoute- ***** slap that Motha F*cka.

But come on, who hasn't made that threat to Bush

Hitler was singled out as "Man of the Year" in 1938, Stalin in 39. Obvioulsy Time had a thing for bloody dictators at the time. Otoh, these weren't such strange choises considering, as already said, the title is conferred based on influence, never mind if it is for the good or for the bad.

(Disregard the thing to the right of Hitler if it offends you. It was the only good pic Google turned up of the Hitler-cover.)

Time's man of the year is awarded to the most influential, not the greatest person. As has been said, Hitler got the title as well.

Nice to know to get a price. But knowing the other guys (Schicklgruber, Dshugashvili, Bush) having them I am not sure to accept it...

The award was officially pussified when Einstein won Man of the Century.

I wait for the day that TIME names either PoL or NonCon as person of the year, just to settle the north/south debate

 

[nonconformist]

It's gonna be me, Kan, for my services towards wimminfolk.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

And should that happen, I shall find some way to blackmail you for my silence regarding you screaming about Sean Connery.

Good heavens, I always assumed you to be around my age.

Regardless, you still win thanks to the recent one:
