On Wednesday morning, editor Nancy Gibbs announced the Ebola fighters as their choice because “they risked and persisted, sacrificed and saved” during a year in which “an outbreak turned into an epidemic" around the world, striking “doctors and nurses in unprecedented numbers. ... Anyone willing to treat the disease's victims 'ran the risk of becoming one.'”

The Ferguson protesters came in second, a selection that quickly sent many supporters to the Internet to vent their anger and disappointment.

It’s “TIME” to burn TIME’s headquarters.

We may have found an area of agreement with these people.

Gotta give Time a little credit here. Time at least know their customer base: the literate.

So we are supposed to feel it’s racist and all that, that some 2 bit irrelevant magazine gives some half baked “award” to someone other than rioters and looters and assorted misfits and anarchists?????? Really????

Were these people really holding their breath waiting to see who Time magazine would give this “honor” to????

Speaking of which, it’s not necessarily an honor to be Man of the Year or Person of the Year. The criteria are that this is the person or people who had the biggest impact on events of the past year, for good or for bad. Hitler was Man of the Year once. So was Ayotollah Khomeini from Iran the year of the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis.

I’m kinda thinkin’ that TIME and “literate” don’t go hand in hand anymore. Just a slightly glossier version of people magazine.

You could be right about Time's customer base. But I stand by my point. I doubt the Ferguson looters can even thumb through magazine. Opposable thumbs being requisite and all.

“Were these people really holding their breath?” “I can’t breeve, I can’t breeve!” Yeah, they think they are relevant but from the looks of things the lyin’ king and his “necessary” comment about “protests (without violence, wink, wink) are, as usual, doing nothing to better so called race relations in this country. Not to mention that bastion of protests in berzerkley and the antics of the black block anarchists is starting to wear thin even there.

I doubt that the 5 kids all had the same father.

A couple of more men behind bars would make more sense.

They have to try harder.

Burn down 3 or 4 times as many buildings the next time you riot and Time magazine will make you #1
