Time Magazine "Person" of the Year

Time magazine has announced their annual "Person of the Year" award today. If you were wondering, they named the "person" of the year as "the protester". Yes, more than one person, not one person in particular, as their singular "Person of the Year".  I have thought this before and I will think it again... Time magazine needs to start naming an actual person their "Person of the Year". I know I know, they have done that the past four years. But that still doesn't account for the fact that they name the person of the year something that is not a singular person, or not even a damn person, on a regular basis. If you look back on the history of their "Person of the Year" issue, an actual person has not been named 13 times out of the 84 issues. That is, for all of you math whizzes out there (math whizzes have surprisingly not been a person of the year before by the way), a whopping 15% of the issues. To me that is a bit outrageous. Even looking at some of them blows my mind, most of which the issues I'm 1982 and 1988. Those were the computer and the endangered earth... You serious? What, are you trying to be deep or something Time magazine? Whatever you are trying to do, it just gets me riled up. But what doesn't really.

For your viewing pleasures, I took the liberty of making the next few "Person of the Year" covers for them.

2012
Dan Fogler

That, my friends, is Dan Fogler. In my opinion one of the funniest people in Hollywood today and, just like Jack Black, pretty much is everything I want to be. If you haven't checked out the show Man Up, you probably should. He is hilarious in it. He will bring joy and laughter to the world while also ending world hunger.

2013
Captain Crunch

Why? Because he makes the best damn cereal ever. That's why. Is there any other reason needed? I didn't think so. 


2014
The Laser Glamour Shot


I think they will make a come back. Hilarious. Not the dude, even though he was obviously a hipster way before anyone else.

2015
Greg Jackson


I will be deserving of it by this time... hopefully. After those four years, who knows how wacky they will wonder off the beaten path. Maybe they will just end with mine. I think it would be a fitting end honestly.
