Cynical Marketing Ploy of the Year

I'll jump on the Blogoweb's great big Bandwagon o' Disgust about Time Magazine's cover story this week. The So-Called "Austin Mayor" summed up the issue pretty well with his quoted content and I dare you to tell his choice for Person of the Year he isn't worthy of the honor.

Here is my entry, the Man with the Electronic Brain! Like most persons of the information age, he destroys everything he touches!

My cover image for the Person of the Year issue is way better than that stupid mirror, a concept I first saw in my favorite bedtime story book, Winken, Blinken and Nod way back in 1964. I have no idea why I don't work for the art department at Time Magazine making huge amounts of cash. Life is not fair.

I think that just about anyone could design a better cover than Time did. Anyone. Even...YOU.

More honorees:

Bully lets us know who is in charge.

Jon the Intergalactic Warrior is in for a fight.

Steven has the real buzz on his choice.

Brandon's is hypnotic.
