GreasyDogMeat Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Total sell out. Oh well, atleast they didn't go with Kim Jong Ill or the president of Iran. Real great people they were considering for person of the year. I have no idea how I'm person of the year anyway. I didn't even use youtube!

LadyCrimson Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Sure, it's a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom. Some of the comments on YouTube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred. So true. Disappointing from Time. The article is fine as a tech-trend essay or something, but as a year-ender 'person of the year' tribute...meh. “Things are as they are.

Pop Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Oh man, I've never won anything before. This is awesome. Since 2001, they've been slacking. The article reads like something out of the Onion, and it's not even as funny as the Onion article they already did. It's not as if this is really an award, anyway. It's an empty gesture. *edit - btw: God, that takes me back. *edit 2 - I am a Lebowski Achiever. Edited December 18, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Musopticon? Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) I've watched around 200 episodes - 50 hours - of anime on Youtube and countless music videos and oddities like old trash cartoon openings. So, I guess I'm the Time magazine person of the year afterall. :D Or a gigantic nerd. Edited December 18, 2006 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Volourn Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 "Total sell out." Really? Sell out? How? Did 'YOU' pay Time off for this? One cnaa rgue that it was silly to give a generalized 'you' such an award as 'person of the year'; but to say it was a 'total sell out' is just as silly if not sillier. Perosnally, I do find it silly and a waste of time on their part; but meh; accusing them of 'total sell out' without evidence is immoral. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Darth Drabek Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 LOL @ the Lebowski Urban Achievers. I think "cop out" is a more accurate description of the article than "sell out," and that's probably what that fella meant. I can see their point, but it's still pretty wishy-washy. Gimme a profile of someone who has done great things to change the world, not a forum for fake teenage drama queens! Or Chuck Norris. I could have lived with Chuck Norris. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Screw You Tube. So what if all the trend and marketing reserchers are up in arms about it. What the hell is it ever going to change other than how advertisers target their audience. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
