Most influential? Really?
I was dismayed to discover while sipping on my fancy-over-priced lemonade at the campus Starbucks, now titled "the only place Karen can study Starbucks," that Time Magazine has crowned 2009's Most Influential Person as non-other than a man named "Moot." This 21 year old started a website like flikr.com or photobucket.com as an image based bulletin board called 4chan.org. The website may get around 13 million hits a day but is it just me or did we just vote in our very first BLACK PRESIDENT?! Oh oh! Maybe Oprah should be 2009's Most Influential person for helping young women in Africa to raise their voice against crime and poverty. Even a better idea-- what about hunting down the person or animal who's body mutated the regular flu making it the Swine Flu and make THEM The Most Influential Person of 2009?! As much as I am on the internet blogging, reading the news, chatting with friends on facebook.com, or taking long walks on the beach, I somehow was left out of the loop on this one. The most entertaining thing is the fact that this "Moot" character doesn't actually like to get his picture taken...just find the irony in that one.

while i echo your sentiments, the sad part is that a large portion of the country is heavily influenced by the internet culture...so much to the point that it could likely become our dominant culture soon
