Of course their "Person of the Year" a while ago being "You" was probably a fair indication of how the mighty have fallen.

Methinks he had something to do with this. I've not watched the show for last week, but he has an ongoing "rivalry" with Rain, so I guess he got his fans to vote for him. :) Like when everyone voted for a bridge in Budapest to be named The Stephen Colbert Bridge. Colbert ftw!!

Then again, seeing a Korean pop star and a US TV talk show host above him makes it seem not so bad. It's remarkably sad that a politician barely makes it into the top 5 list. I love games, the culture and the industry. But there's a sad and deep lack of perspective going on out there. Also, if any game designer deserves the honours it's Jeff Minter - at least he still <em>makes</em> his games.

(smily that covers eyes with hand and shakes head) It's like the NBA All Star team. As long as China won't ban access to NBA.com Yao Ming will be on it.
