Person of the Year has no clothes
My email to Time Magazine, letters@time.com

Dear Time,

Watching your POTY give a press conference right now. He has no clothes and he never did.

1. I sent Time a scathing e-mail
I realize that the person of the year is someone who changes the world. He's done that for sure, but couldn't they find someone who was doing positive changes??

2. I also wrote a letter
to Time, in which I canceled my subscription. They wrote back, and informed me that I no longer had a subscription, and was two months behind on the bill. I wrote them back asking them for mercy on the bill, because the person of the year had deployed me to Iraq, and I had suffered massive trauma to my legs, one of which was amputated, and prior to the war, I was a world champion gymnast. They wrote me back and said that they were sorry for my loss, but that my subscription card indicated I worked in sales. I wrote them back, and told them that "sales" was an inside joke among us gymnasts.
They wrote me back and said that they would like to do a story on my situation. I was sorry to inform them that they were not welcome to do so, because I disagreed with whom they had selected for person of the year.

True story.

5. Time mag covers will be a great place for Election Fraud post-its
And maybe a flyer inside? Might as well make the best of it...

6. they should have had a voting machine as man of the year
You know they did this on purpose. Anyone read it yet? Any dissenting articles? If there isn't, they should be banned for life.
