I Won

Um, so Time Magazine’s person of the year is you, or rather, us (raise your hand if you think this is a huge copout). I’d say this is terrible news at best. First of all, it means that if I’ve already made Time’s person of the year, I have nowhere to go but down. Secondly, it means that one of the world’s most important and influential people (me, namely) spends at least one hour of every day thinking about the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles. Shouldn’t I be more concerned with world peace? I mean, if anyone’s going to do something about that, it should probably be me. Given all my power and everything. Also, take a look at this paragraph from the article:

To be sure, there are individuals we could blame for the many painful and disturbing things that happened in 2006. The conflict in Iraq only got bloodier and more entrenched. A vicious skirmish erupted between Israel and Lebanon. A war dragged on in Sudan. A tin-pot dictator in North Korea got the Bomb, and the President of Iran wants to go nuclear too. Meanwhile nobody fixed global warming, and Sony didn't make enough PlayStation3s.

So, I’m going to say that one of those things is not like the other, and if you guessed global warming, you’d be wrong. Now I love video games as much as the next guy (I just posted about them), but does a couple kids not getting PS3’s really matter in the face of war and nuclear power? Well, maybe it does. The PS3 can play blu-ray discs, after all.
