In grade school, whenever a student was caught eating candy, the teacher would ask, “Did you bring enough for everybody?” Time carried this logic through to its absurd conclusion: If everybody can’t be Person of the Year, then no one can. “In the future,” Andy Warhol once predicted, “everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.” Well, start your clocks, people.
Time’s up.
I still think Time meant Garth Turner was Person of the Year.
My clock is bigger than yours.
…PICK ME!!! PICK Me!! Pick me! pick me! pick…
*sigh*
Hah! I KNEW I’d get it this year! Everyone always laughed at me, but I kept telling themmm…just you wait and see…I’ll be man of the year one of these days…
Well I was RIGHT!
Take that you worthless nobodies!
According to NRO’s The Corner, Danny Bonaduce has just redeemed himself and earned an EXTRA 15 minutes of fame.
Heh.
Not man of the year – News maker of the year!
Wouldn’t Reuters be the “Newsmaker” of the year??
To Make: Fabricate, Construct, Contrive ……
Andy Warhol was a remarkable artist. my sense of the art word is primitive, but he seemed to me to be a man in his own world all the time, not quite participating in it but just observing it and sometimes pushing it along to see what would happen.
I didnt know he got shot and was near death at one point. the 15 minutes of fame is so true. nowadays its cut down to about 15 seconds of fame because of all the crowding in the digital world.
