Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You 244
Thib writes to point out that Time Magazine has picked you — or us, or the Internet — as Person of the Year because you control the Information Age. From the article: "But look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes."

Kerry Humbled to Be Named Time's 'Person of the Year'
by Scott Ott
(2006-12-17) -- Sen. John Kerry, D-MA, today announced he is "humbled and grateful" to be named Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' for 2006.
"When I picked up my copy of Time at the newsstand," said Sen. Kerry, "and saw my own image looking back at me, I thought 'Of all the great people in the world this year -- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, Kofi Annan, Kim Jong-Il -- how can it be you, John?'"
The presumptive runner-up for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2008 said he had not yet read the Time cover story because "modesty restrains me."
"And yet," Sen. Kerry added, "in a way, my whole life has been moving toward this moment when the people of this nation and their leaders would say, 'You're the one, John'. There's a sense of destiny, and you can't fight that."
In related news, spokesmen for Sen. Hillary Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards said both would appear at separate news conferences later today to reflect on their feelings after being named Time magazine's 'Person of the Year' for 2006.

It's so obvious, I'm so important they don't even need to write my name, just "you".
So this is not really aimed for a narcissistic society, it's aimed just at me. I'm sorry (well I'm not, it's just an expression), but you're wrong and I'm right.

Or given the role of the internet in this decision, a lowercase "u".
And in the back cover, they could write "j/k lolz"
