November 15, 201015 yr Author I'm not sure on Lady Gaga, but I actually though the rest were good picks.
November 15, 201015 yr FDR, Churchill, Hitler, MLK, LBJ, Kissinger, and now potentially one of these choices. Depressing.
November 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 01:38 PM) No Jason Gage? This list sucks. Seriously, I call bulls***.
November 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) FDR, Churchill, Hitler, MLK, LBJ, Kissinger, and now potentially one of these choices. Depressing. Well "Person of the Year" isn't an award
November 16, 201015 yr person of the year for what? backstabbing his home state to take his "talents" to south beach, wtf

Of course, they usually ignore that rule any more to give it to someone who's actually politically palatable.

November 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 15, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) And those are some pathetic choices. Honestly...if you wanted to be 100% accurate, you'd probably have picked the President of the United States every year since 2001.
November 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 12:30 PM) Julian Assange should be the person of the year. I can see why you'd say that...but really, the wikileaks work hasn't really seemed to make a big impact on anything.

But his story came from no where and was a pretty major story... even if the end result wasnt much of anything.

November 16, 201015 yr If LeBron is on the list with Gaga how is Drew Brees not on it. Was there a bigger story as it relates to NO, the hurricane and football? I thought it was overblown but I would say he would be a tollerable choice compared to some of them. I hope the Chilean miners get it.

December 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 15, 2010 -> 08:20 AM) And the winner is...Mark Zuckerberg. That's fine.
