Vyce 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 NY Times Selects 'Individual of the Year' (2003-12-22) -- After word that Time magazine had selected 'The American Soldier' as its Person of the Year, The New York Times today announced its pick for "2003 Individual of the Year" -- The African-American Unemployed, Uninsured, Lesbian Woman with an Unwanted Pregnancy. "We noticed that Time feigned patriotism by putting American troops on the cover, even though the story savaged President Bush's foreign policy," said Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of The New York Times. "So, we just wanted to praise the heroism of the woman who's fighting conservative laws which prevent her from marrying her lesbian partner. She worries that her children won't be able to get into a good college due to the Bush war on affirmative action. She struggles to make ends meet due to Bush's economic policy failures. And she desperately needs a partial-birth abortion to protect her mental health, but it's illegal now and even if it weren't she has no insurance." Mr. Sulzberger said the Times' editorial board's second choice for Individual of the Year was Valerie Plame, wife of former ambassador Joe Wilson, who might have been one of the great undercover CIA agents of all time if an unnamed Bush administration official hadn't revealed her identity to columnist Robert Novak.

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 For the Canadian edition of TIME the people of the year were the two gay guys who got married. TIME has totally neutered the person of the year award ever since they (correctly) gave it Khomeni and had a ton of subscribtions cancelled. They made up some BS excuse as to why Bin Laden wasn't person of the year, but anyone with half a brain knows it was all about money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 Hey, are we still allowing foreign folks on this board? Well, when they word it like that it makes it sound like some vague sort of jealousy that's just as nationalistic as the Way-Too-Patriotic people, but I'm sure the message in there is rooted in truth. I wouldn't mind seeing the 1990s-current dominant "culture" of the US get knocked down a peg. Eventually it will fall and something else will rise. And hopefully it will involve less McDonald's restaurants... And I *REALLY* hope it doesn't involve religious fundamentalism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the time it was announced, I was reading a neoconservative board and was about ready to want to take some Asprin because of the whining that GW didn't get the award a second time. Even though this was before the war had even begun. I guess an American tragedy alone was reason enough to glorify the guy into the halls of fame for them or something.

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 I didn't mind them giving it to Rudy, since he was definitely the most deserving American candidate. But I definitely do think the only reason they didn't give it to Bin Laden is because they were worried it would hurt their business, despite whatever they might try to claim. Oh, and I marked out for Vince McMahon's version with himself on the cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garbage. Satire. It's from Scrappleface, which is sort of like The Onion, although with shorter articles since it's updated daily. The article is just a continuation on the old New York Times Headline Joke: "World Ends Tomorrow; Women, Minorities Hardest Hit" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry about those that don't -- we could give two shits about them anyway. BTW: I think your point would make a great letter to the editor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
