Yes, for the first time, it's you!
Time magazine over decades has had many a "Man of the Year," and in recent years, many a "Person of the Year." No offense intended, but I'm willing to wager that this is the first year that YOU won the distinction. (Sure wish I did!)
You.

I'm sorry, my many years of being beat down by the man has forced me to conclude that this is the lamest Time Person of the
Year ever. |

They must be lonely and desperate for love over at Time, eh?

Next year, TIME's "Person of the Year" will be: "Nobody!"
The copy will read: "Fictitious characters have been a big influence on humanity over many centuries...so to all you fictitious characters out there from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter, here's to you......"  |

I agree, it is quite lame. Seems to be a cop out. What's next years winner going to be? "Me"?
My fondest hope in Moonscape is to simply approach the absurdities of reality. Reality is always going to be the funnier, though. Such is the burden of anyone attempting humor. So my approach in Moonscape might be described as writing stuff that reminds people of the hilarity of real world events, and trying to use that memory to make them laugh.

Sounds like a Budweiser commercial.

Oh, now I get it!
I read somewhere else that on the physical magazine cover, the grey rectangle in which the word "You" appears (in the image above) is actually a mirror.
That makes all the difference! How silly of [imagine there's a mirror here]. |

Y'know, thinking about it, I don't believe I/we want to be Person of the Year, and certainly not under these conditions. I mean, there we are, all lumped in with rapists & murders & liars & thieves & wife-beaters & Republicans & Bill o'Reilly & James Dobson & Fred Phelps, & George W. Bush & his daddy & other scumbags as well. I think that we've got a little more class than that.
In fact, I feel downright insulted.
But that's what happens when you lose whatever spine you have and go for the cop-out. And that's what this is: a cop-out. Time's lost it's spine and it's little, bitty, shriveled-up balls along with it.
It didn't use to be that way. Once, they put Adolph Hitler up for it, and that caused a shit-storm, I can tell you! But that was back in the day when they weren't so afraid that the Administration might get a trifle put out over a real nominee.
This, in microcosm, is what has become of our Forth Estate. They are so terrified that they might offend someone 'important' that they have invented a whole meaning for the term, "Pussy!"
Fuck you Time magazine and all that you have come to stand for.
