Okay, we got it.

This is not at all useful. Especially as a front page post. Perhaps as a comment here.

I am completely furious at this mainstream newsmag for picking the most important, most divisive, and most newsworthy man in the world as its man of the year (I was hoping they would give belated honors to Edward Said, but I guess they are more interested in their so-called "news"). The fact that it has picked mass-murderers in the past just serves to prove that he is just like them! If you hadn't double posted this I would have, because it was jsut that necessary. ARRRRRRGGHHHH! Will somebody please rape me for crying out loud!!!

Bad enough when I heard this on the radio I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that when I went to MeFi I'd find a pointless post about it. But one was more than enough.

Repeat after me: "Best of the web..."

What goes unnoted: go back a few years and the covers were for Man of the Year--now it is Person of the Year.

Creative, I've never seen Bush compared to Hitler before.

It's sad that I expected one of the new users to have posted this.
