It shows how out of touch Time is that they aren't picking Luigi.

[–] wwaxen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That would be assuming it's him. Imagine the killer turned out to he someone else.

Hitler was also person of the year wasn't he?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe that's why Trump is celebrating.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

Become a rapist, fraudster, openly dickish and racist fuckwad and YOU TOO can get your name as the person of the year. Hell, you might even become president of the United States.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 21 points 1 year ago

Just one more thing Trump has in common with Hitler.

Big deal, I was Time's Person of the Year in 2006.

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 6 points 1 year ago

"You" was the official choice for Time's Person of the Year in 2006. The magazine set out to recognize the millions of people who anonymously contribute user-generated content to websites such as YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Wikipedia and other wikis, and the multitudes of other websites featuring user contribution.[1][2]

You sneaky devil

[–] linuxguy@lemmy.gregw.us 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A joke and stunt of a magazine that will soon be dead. Bad decision!

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to be fair, they survived naming Hitler person of the year back in the day

[–] linuxguy@lemmy.gregw.us 1 points 1 year ago

Slight whoosh. My comment is a slightly mangled quote of trump copied from the article.

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When was the last time anyone under about 65 read Time magazine?

Also, what is a "magazine"?

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm 30 and read magazines all the time, dunno what you're on about.
