'Time' Person of the Year: You Can't Be Serious - Gawker:

As if anything could preclude our right to mock. Time's annual hype machine finally reached its crescendo this weekend, announcing the choice for the 2006 "Person of the Year": You. That's right -- You, over there, with the face. Even if you're a fan of the abstract POTY selections (as opposed to a single person or group of people), this has to rank as the most squishy, opportunistic pick ever. See, this way they get to roll in YouTube, MySpace, Wikipedia, even Web 2.0 -- anything with a hint of buzz, warranted or not.
