Someone must have a sick sense of humor

From my wise LJ friend of many years, alexpgp:

Vladimir Putin has been selected as Time's "Man of the Year."

On one level, that's pretty surreal. Almost as surreal as the idea of a crab whistling on a hill, somewhere, watching a pig fly.

Cheers...

I don't think I could express it any better.

Well, Stalin was Man of the Year at least once, and they seem pretty similar to me.

What the fuck? Why? He's started to return Russia to its former Soviet ways, and we commend him on this?

First Six Apart, and now Time Magazine? What's next?

We've got Big Brother to deal with, and now we're having to also deal with Big Bratva? In the US?

As alot of ppl ( at Time ) have pointed out, its nt meant to be an indicator of the best most happy good for the world person - it's meant to be the most influential person, for good or bad. I lookaed at teh history of the ' person of the year ' ... even Hitler made it in at one point.

Strange world.
