I'd like to thank El Freako for providing the laugh of the week.

Keep an eye out for helicopters though.

Hello people, why the **** do we allow Fez to ruin threads? Isn't it obvious that he is incapable of rational arguementation? It wastes time and space, and ruins threads. Given that a permaban of Fez is not coming, as he is simply a black hole of stupidity, and not outwardly and aggressively insulting and mean-spirited like others who get a permanban, can we all agree to ignore him and move on?

As for the choice-who cares?

That its hot, hot hot?

Bush is an obviously deeply devisisve figure, like Clinton was.

I just don;t think Man of the Year is meaningful. Not like you win money or anything. Last year it was the US Soldier.

Its a sort of meaningless publicity stunt.

The thread was destroyed nearly right from the start, for our greatest amusement.

It has grown dull with the El Freako - Fez discussion, but the beginning was a solid and exhilerating trashing of the topic

Maybe El Freako didn't already know the extra-ordinary debating style of our good Fez.

I was going to post about how the US allowed Iraq's oil pipeline to Turkey to be opened up, in the 90s, to keep Turkey happy. In direct contravention of the UN sanctions.

And about how 98% of the blockade fleet in the Persian Gulf was American, but somehow those speedy oil tankers just kept darting past them...

But I read Giancarlo's masteful handling of el freako, and I now realize that facts are irrelevant.

Damned, its the THIRD time that was said.

I think Newsweek should counter with College of the Year, to combine the publicity of Man of the Year with the blockbuster US News and World Report college ranking issue.

Then, have a bunch of good looking female students pose in Bikinis to piggy back on the popularity of Sports Illutrated swimsuit edition.

It would be the greatest single Magazine edition EVER.

Not that it has any trace of relevance to this year's naming, but even Josef Stalin was named Time's Man of the Year. Twice at that, 1939 and 1942.

You have an inferior mind, you shouldn't be commenting on superior minds. You aren't capable of anything... you are the one who is the black hole of stupidity. You are always incorrect.
