You The Man
Sorry, person.
You the person.
That’s what Time Magazine says, because it has named “You” as Person of the Year because we be blogging and Youing Tubing and having our say and stuff on the Internet.
So you are the person of the year. Well, not you in particular. I use the royal you.
I think it was my post about the Take That reunion that swung the jury, but who can say?
Anyway, now we get to join the list of people like General Westmoreland, the Pope and Adolf Hitler as the year’s most influential people.
Remember Hitler? Here are the closing lines from the Time Magazine article which named him man of the year in 1938:
To those who watched the closing events of the year it seemed more than probable that the Man of 1938 may make 1939 a year to be remembered.
Great things people. Great things.

You are NOT the Person of the Year! I know who you is and its not you.

I really wish they’d gone for a mirror cover, though.

David, I didn’t say “I” was the person of the year. I said you were.
I know who you is and its not you.
It IS you. That’s the point.
If you don’t like it, don’t complain to me.

Well, now that everyone in the world has been Time’s person of the year, what’s so special about it? Besides, I’m not at all happy about sharing an award that once was won by Adolph Hitler.
