Democratic Whoopsy: Kim Jong-Un and Mohamed Morsey Lead Times Person Of The Year Poll
The Internet has a hard time taking things seriously and will happily enact silly vengeance on websites daring enough to leave important tasks up to a vote. Time's coveted "Person of the Year" poll has been hijacked by thousands of pranksters who have voted up the not-so democratic icons, North Korea's Kim Jong-Un and Egypt's Mohamed Morsey. The up votes could be legitimate exercise in satire, punishing Time for even floating the idea of those two in a poll next to Obama and brave political dissidents. But, if Morsey--or worse, Kim--actually wins the poll, Time will have egg on its face (both Kim and Morsey have nearly twice the number of votes as 3rd place).Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/srgqVF_hPG4/
