yeah I know, but for the most part they only pick people who are considered "good"

win

Hitler was the man of the year as well, in like 1930-something.

Actually, the Soviet national anthem also would've been good.

"Hitler was the man of the year as well, in like 1930-something." - read the description pls

Lol, check the quote at the bottom of the page.

He was nominated for turning a civil war turned USSR into an Industrial Super Power by costing the lives of a few million citizens.

Ok, this is funny but stupid. This is from back when TIME magazine was gutsy and cool and was willing to give the "Man of the Year" award to someone who actually deserved it. Now they give it to Rudy Giuliani over Osama bin Laden just so they dont look ba

best music ever

"e was nominated for turning a civil war turned USSR into an Industrial Super Power by costing the lives of a few million citizens." more like 20 million. hitler ain'tgot sh*t on stalin.

Man of the year just goes to whoever has CHANGED the world the most that year. It is not neccessarily a good thing. Osama Bin'Laden was up for one but TIMES realized that people wouldn't understand that they weren't supporting him and they'd flip out.

20 million? lol. That must include war casualties.

Krushchev > Stalin. Man, the people who leave these comments need to learn to read the other ones, damn.

the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable.

where would we be if stalin didn't have a hardon for killing germans? imagine if the millions of krauts that stalin killed had lived, and were unopposed. there's no goddamn way we'd have won ww2. the russkis won ww2. and yes, he was a tyrant that killed f*ckloads of his own people, but america has a long history of tyrant loving, especially those in oil rich nations

sh*t we could have had hussain as a man of the year, back when he was at war with iran

f*ck i mean, the man was brutal. but do americans give a f*ck about a guy who kills his own people? f*ck no. rwanda, cambodia, germany, turkey, sudan, we never even interrupted any of them.

see me saying a thing about communism?

yep

it be late

Hitler was also the Man of the Year twice f I remember correctly.

@cooke: It's always been the most influential. Time is not about giving awards to people, Time is a magazine about current events. They wanted to make Osama Bin Man of the Year, but were shouted down by Bush's worshippers. They were the only true journalists in a medium full of pandering self-congratulatory f*ggots.
