If i recall right, it is sort of a tradition to manipulate the Person of the Year polls by 4chan...
Once, they voted moot to the top and made the first names (?) spell a phrase (Marblecake, also the game) when read from top to bottom...

- Alaskan005 14y agoAbraham Lincoln was misquoted, or least he said so in his Geocities page. Anyway, how stupid is Time to fall for this, unless they are doing it for the traffic and clicks?
- ihuman 14y agoAre you sure? His Wikipedia page has that quote on it.
- pyre 14y agoIt's in bad taste to edit one's own Wikipedia page, even if there is an error.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoFall for what? Did you read the link?
- Alaskan005 14y agoYes I read it. Apparently the only reason they do the useless and manipulated web poll is for clicks and hits.
- LeonimuZ 14y agoIf you read the first letter of each name on the results list, you can see it spells "KJU Gas Chambers" (KJU being Kim Jong Un). There were 2 or 3 threads on 4chan about what to spell this year. http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2128881_2129111,00.html http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2...
- unemployed 14y agoTime could've changed the way they hold a poll, but didn't. This is an advertisement stunt, nothing more.
