I am humbled and honoured to be named Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2006. However, I expect this recognition to come with some monetary award, lavish receptions and a world tour.
Obviously their choice was so lame. Given that their own online survey had Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez running away with the public voting at 35%, followed by Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at 21%, Nancy Pelosi at 12%, the YouTube guys at 11% and George W. Bush doing no better than being tied with Al Gore at 8%, Time takes a courageous stand and gives the award to ... you.
