I actually didn'...Thanks for dropping by, Adam.<br /><br />I actually didn't really like the fact that the Metro "honored big names" in this case; it seemed to divert attention from what's actually exciting about new media potential. I mean, if all these new forms are going to bring us are Will Ferrell's jokey home movies, however hilarious, it's going to be a bit of a letdown.<br /><br />As for the "You" cover while easy and somewhat amusing to poke fun at, I think it was a stroke of genius. They've toyed with the "Person of the Year" designation so many times, that it's no longer a huge shock when they don't pick a singular person; and by designating "You" they probably spotlighted the signature trend of the decade.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-7676475376971728552009-10-05T00:05:14.909-04:002009-10-05T00:05:14.909-04:00Liked that part where you pointed out that the Met...Liked that part where you pointed out that the Metro does a better job of honoring big names than Time sometimes seems to. At least when Vladimir Putin was their Person of the Year, it was a person.<br /><br />"You" isn't worth a whole magazine issue cover, in my opinion.Adam Zanziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524618281515322239noreply@blogger.com
