Congratulations, By The Way
December 18th, 2006 by Justin
If you put a couple of Mentos up your neighbor’s asshole while he was sleeping and chased it with a two liter of Diet Coke after making sure your dad’s camera was on and recording… you’re the person of the year. If you are determined to change the definition of what temperature steel melts so “the truth” about 9/11 can finally spread across the internet… you’re the person of the year. If you attended a Cum Fiesta… you’re the person of the year. Well, I guess Time says it better:
2006 is a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about Wikipedia and YouTube and MySpace. For seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, Time’s Person of the Year for 2006 is you
Translation: we have nothing.
• Yeah, like, nothing [Time]
