TIME Names Mark Zuckerberg Person of Year
theodp writes "Sorry, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates — there's a new geek kid in town. TIME magazine has selected Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as its Person of the Year. Why? 'For connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them; for creating a new system of exchanging information; and for changing how we all live our lives,' reasoned TIME At age 26, Zuckerberg is TIME's second-youngest selection, bested only by Charles Lindbergh. So what does Zuckerberg do for an encore — Academy Award, maybe?"
It should have been Assange, but Time magazine caved to government pressure! Now we attack! Our forces will go to the newsstands and look at Time magazine thousands of times per second, until there are no photons left for anyone else!
Step into a huge movement. Don't Tread In Me.
Just this year?

I won it in 2006.
Today Time Magazine announced the Person of the Year 2007.
Remember the year they made "you" the person of the year?
Yeah, don't forget to put that on your resume.
Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
Yeah, because whatever he has done with Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is definitely on the same level as Hitler, Stalin and Khomeini... Sometimes I think peoples perspectives are screwed here on Slashdot, and its posts like yours that affirm that thought.
Q. You are in a room with Hitler and Zuckerberg. You have a gun with two bullets. What do you do?
A. Shoot Zuckerberg twice.

Assange probably doesn't know yet:

'The only letter to reach him during the week he has spent in the prison's segregation unit was a slip telling him that a copy of Time magazine sent to him had been destroyed as the cover bore his photo, Mr Stephens said...The American news publication pictured Assange on the front with an image of the US stars and stripes flag gagging him.'
Just to mess with him, the prison should let him have the new issue with everything from this story except the words 'Person of the year' redacted.
