Time Readers Choose Kim Jong Un As Person Of The Year
Big Hairy News ^ | December 13, 2012 | Scooter Van Neuter

Posted on 12/13/2012 5:57:58 PM PST by WXRGina

It appears the answer to the question "where did all the Newsweek readers go?" has been definitively answered with the results of a new Time reader's poll.

The magazine's almost 1000 readers voted North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un as their pick for "Person of the Year."

When questioned why anyone smart enough to read would possibly pick the corpulent little commie for this honor, a Time editor replied, "The feedback we got was everyone really liked his "Gangnam Style" video, and frankly so did we. He rocks."

I don’t know why Conservatives even comment on this Marxist rag. (A newspaper, especially one specializing in sensationalism or gossip)

Almost as big an honor as being named The Onion's sexiest man alive.

Because, in this case, it's a big laugh for those who get it.

He dances like a demented Easter bunny! A pink nightmare!

(OK, he wasn’t in pink but still a nightmare.)

Since this is Time magazine, its not satire. Its readers probably do admire him.

No, it is humor, and very funny, but you may have to re-read it and know about the "Gangnam Style" singer--who is not King Jong Un.

Well first Newsweek. Can the TIMES be far behind?

4Chan forums worked hard to get Kim elected. I thought it was a hilarious idea...
